Streaming with a double pc setup

[iMDarker]

A couple of years ago i upgraded from my gaming laptop to my current gaming pc and i'm now wondering if i can use my old laptop as a second pc for streaming. It's a dell inspiron 15 gaming 7577 with an i7 7700hq and a gtx 1060 max-q, is this enough for 1080p 60fps streaming and how do i do i stream with it while playing with my normal pc?

You will need a capture card. an elgato sound capture card can do up to 4k 60fps. Anyway, assuming you using obs and twitch, boot obs and connect it to your twitch account. then in the sources paart, click the plus symbol, and then sellect the window the elgato card is capturing. use nvenc as your encoder as you are not running a game as well as obs. then click start streamming annd you are live on twitch! add webcamm and audio in the sources tab as wwell.. so what you will be doing is running the game on the main pc, then the capture card is takking that footage and putting it into obs, which is essentially putting it in to twitch (live streaming)

Are my specs on the laptop good enough for using is as a second pc?

yep
assuming you are just running obs and twitch
using nvenc as the encoder
