How can I play from two devices on one computer remotely?

Good evening everyone. I recently bought a new computer and wanted to play something new with a friend, but he has a rather old and weak laptop. There was a plan to use my computer to process everything and everything, and for him to display one picture.

More specifically, I'm playing on my PC at home, and he's remotely using my PC's power from his laptop.

The choice immediately fell on a virtual machine with Steam installed and using Remote Play. However, the plan failed, since the mouse can only be in one place and it turns out that: either the mouse is controlled directly on the PC, or on a virtual machine. It was not possible to achieve any independence from them.

So, is there a way to solve this problem? I know that this can be done using one computer, dividing it into two. That is, you need two monitors, two mice and two keyboards. But on my topic, I could not find anything sensible, so I hope for the help of experts!

PC Configuration:
AMD Ryzen 7 2700x
ASUS PRIME X570-P
NVIDIA GTX 1650

ibik aster, paid (2 places the first year is very cheap).
An excellent solution, I have been using it since the days of windows 7, and both with two video cards and with one, I even played mmorpg games that put sticks in wheels in different ways (different windows users, different installation directories, it often worked), now win10 but I play few.
It is a mistake to assume that the video card is fully loaded in games. Often more load falls on the disk and RAM, as well as the processor. Therefore - more RAM (at least 8 but better than 16GB) and an ssd drive.

First of all, Windows won't let you do that. It is necessary to either patch the library or install Windows Server. I recommend the second option, since the server OS can be used for 365 days (trial) for free.
Then we move in two ways:
1. If you and your friend are sitting in the same room, then you can use multipoint or ibik aster. Just connect two mice, two keyboards and two monitors. Virtual machines are not needed, Windows has a session system, so you need to create an account for a friend.
2. If a friend will cling from his home, then you can set up an RDP server. A friend using a special protocol from his old PC will connect to yours and will have his own session where he can run any programs.
In general, you first need to figure out whether there is enough power for two games at the same time.

With a virtual machine, the video stream can be processed slowly, it is not designed for this, although there may be some patches. I would suggest rdp with an additional user, but it also does not hold a frame rate, it is more suitable for turn-based strategies, rather than action

1650 is not enough for two games at once
