My wife's laptop is starting to reach the end of its life, and we aren't sure that we want to buy another one. I have most of a space tower lying around, but not a great area to set up a second full pc.
Would it be possible to use the Pi 0 W I have running pihole to act as a streaming interface between the roku and the PC? I guess in my head I'm thinking of almost running it as the opposite of how I have it set up right now, where the Pi only has power plugged into it, and if I need to interface with it I open a VNC Server and use my desktop PC mouse/keyboard/monitor.
Ideally I would have the Pi in the living room, with a bt keyboard/mouse, the PC chilling in the office under my desk or w/e. It won't be used for gaming, so I'm not really worried about input lag, within reason. I know there are probably a million ways to make this work, I'm just hoping for advice, and also something that doesn't need much prowess to use on a day to day basis.

There's probably a raspberry pi way to do the same
