I watched this Esri video on YouTube about a complicated set up companies need to put together to remote desktop into ArcGIS Pro for multiple users and added layers of security. But as a single user connecting to my own personal laptop to another device left at home I am relieved to confirm that I can just use a regular remote desktop program.
What people suggested here was the Microsoft Remote Desktop feature available in Windows 11 Pro system and one users is using Citrix Workspace. Right now, I'm trying out TeamViewer.
ArcGIS Pro runs in my remote desktop session. There is definitely a lag, but that is likely due to the internet connection. Thanks everyone for the replies!
This saved me from buy a clunky gaming laptop to carry around. Instead, I get to keep my delightful 16GB Microsoft Surface Book 2 as my travel laptop and now I'm looking into a new desktop computer with better specs for ArcGIS Pro that I can remote desktop into.
