I'm tired of constantly dual-booting my systems. Is there a way to set up my lower-end mini PC as my primary computer while remotely accessing my high-end Windows PC? I just want to be able to play games and use my proprietary CAD software smoothly. Would getting a 10G router help with latency issues?

There was a project by Google where you could pay to game on their rigs remotely, but they didn't factor in how variable internet connections can be outside big cities. Locally, though, you’ll avoid those latency issues completely, especially when it’s wired.
RDP is indeed the way to go! Just remember that it works best if RDP access is enabled on your Windows machine. If you encounter VNC issues, you'll want to use a compatible client for the mini PC that can handle it. A 10G router definitely helps with network performance too!
You can definitely make that work! Using services like Moonlight and Sunshine should allow you to stream games from your high-end PC to the mini PC. Just keep in mind that not all games or anti-cheat systems may work perfectly in this setup. If you connect everything via LAN with cables, you shouldn't have much latency, which is a huge plus!
If you're looking to use CAD software, RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) could be your best bet. It's pretty effective for that purpose, plus it's worth checking out how Steam handles streaming, as those techniques could translate well for your needs.
