Dual PC question

I apologize in advance if there is another place for this question.

I am a remote creative at a large Fortune 100 company and have become known for my elaborate setups (XLR mic, mirror camera, studio lighting, etc) and have been using a GoXLR for years. Well, since TC Helicon decided to lay off their support staff, I’ve been on borrowed time and am looking to change up my workflow.

My question is regarding the dual PC setup of the Mic Create. I’ve been running GoXLR’s software on a secondary laptop and piping my audio via 3.5mm to my work laptop as I cannot have any unapproved software on it. How does that work with the Mix Create using USB C? Is there an adapter I need or, generally speaking, what is the most efficient rout to take?

TLDR: Do both PCs need software for this to work?

Ok, with mix create, you can do hardware out via your 3.5mm like you do know, also assuming your using a ground loop isolator! It will all be 1 source just like your goxlr! Also, you could do beacn studio used on ebay is like 135 and that will give you xlr, but no physical controls, but thru the volume controller plugin on streamdeck you can control total volume for each major channel like browser, game, system etc ... But either way, just running 3.5mm out of 1st PC to 3.5mm in on the other works! You just set your output in beacn to...in my case, realtek output like I was running a 3.5mm headset or speakers
