Using a 2nd PC For Recording & Streaming Help

[Gherkin]

I am totally new to streaming. I have 2 older PC's (which run modern games fine). I am trying to capture one on the other using one of those cheap nameless capture cards that look like a thumb drive.

Are there any existing guides that cover this or would apply to this situation? I searched but no results returned and while browsing nothing popped out to me.

You can do the capture 2 PC's by the NDI mode

Maybe not....

Op says they have "older" PC's, if they're too old, they may not have the proper instruction sets and/or NIC for NDI.

I already have a capture card......

"Old" to some is not "old" to others. For example; I play on a 2nd gen i72600K (overclocked), 16GB DDR3 @ 1921, 980ti classified (had it 4 years now) I been using this rig for over 7 years averaging 150 FPS in modern titles. ...Windows 7 baby!!!! So yeah, old by a millennials standards but still kicking ASS!
