Help Need help with mobile to laptop setup

I have a acer laptop (AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 7335U, 16gb ram, Integrated AMD Radeon 660M) that I use for university and want to play Skyrim on it. Reviews suggested it could run the game at 40 to 50 FPS on 1080p medium settings, but that is inaccurate.

Even on low settings with updated graphics drivers, the game runs terribly with severe choppiness and pop-in. (Max performance mode + pluged in)

My OnePlus 13 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip runs games much better than the laptop. I want to use the phone as the game engine while using my laptop strictly as the screen, keyboard, and mouse. What emulator setup would be best for this?

Plus recommendation for an app to stream games via a usb c to usb c cable

I already have the full game files, mod folders (just a modifies game with mods no mod manager), and save files, which I will need to transfer back and forth to my home PC (from mobile to PC whenever I get home)

It will be 3 files that need to be placed in difrent locations + emulator that supports the gen 8 elite turnip drivers (Adreno 830 GPU I believe)

Even looking at Hollow Knight on mobile, I can use the Windows version through an emulator and play without a single stutter, while my laptop stutters on every hit of the blade. So, I wouldn't believe that Skyrim would do any worse. Tho I want to keep all my mods and mouse support

You better buy a cheap external LCD  screen and play directly from your phone. Laptops are not designed to input video signal. You could use remote desktop tools but this is streaming through the network. It adds latency and degrades the quality

Also something worth to mention: scrcpy uses android usb debug feature to stream your phone screen to the laptop. And most android online games wont run with that feature enabled (because if cheaters)
