I have a friend that doesn't have a very powerful computer and I wanted to use virtualization to split my hardware and use something like Teamviewer so he could use my computer. I know it's not very practical, but he wouldn't be doing anything like extremely taxing like gaming, just using music design programs. I'm not even sure if it's possible but if it is I don't have any idea how to do it.

Here are my specs:

AMD FX 8350

Asus GTX 1080 Strix

Asus Crossfire V ROG

G. Skill Ripjaws 16G 2133Hz

EVGA Supernova 750 80+ Bronze

Kingston 120G SSD

Sandisk 120G SSD

Samsung 240G SSD

Western Digital 1T HDD

It's possible. But chances are it'll run probably just as bad, if not worse, than his local machine. You're basically streaming your screen and receiving inputs over the internet. It's not your machine that'll be the issue, it'll either your internet connection or your friend's internet connection.
