One computer, two monitors.

That works.  Another might be remote admin desktop sharing. It can be done on Windows, Mac and Linux.  Might be able to get the Linux one to work on macs too though they technically have their own.  It was developed long ago so techs could fix a computer without having to physically go to it.  The concept is really old.  It can work across continents though.

 

Without knowing any specifics of the machines it’s hard to recommend something specific though.   Things that would be needed would be what is in the machines so a ballpark figure of how fast they are can be determined, what OS they are running especially if it is different, and what kind and quality of net connection they have (some systems are nicer but can eat too much bandwidth)

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

If the computers are to far apart to wire together directly there is that Remote Desktop thing.  Both machines have to have decent net access.  If that’s the route you want to go microsoft has some stuff.  I think it’s free.  Not 100% on that though.
