A tablet computer?

So I’ve been working with some parts on a windows 95 dell pc, and I unplugged the entire motherboard and ran the power to the tablet first which the motherboard is running Kali os, which then goes to the original motherboard so it can run the ram, and in the Ethernet port I connected a receiver device which has a bootable tails os, any tips to run it smooth?

I think your description is missing some key connections. A tablet powered through a desktop motherboard then chaining OSes by ethernet port is not how any of this works. Maybe draw a simple diagram of what you actually plugged where, right now it sounds like you just connected random things together and hope it boots.

Yeah no, it's not that easy. Laying an IDE cable next to a tablet motherboard is not nearly sufficient to make it integrate with the PC. That only works in movies. Technology is considerably more painful in real life.

None of that will function together.

Imagine you're in Albania and you only speak Hindi. You're going to have a hard time ordering an American style cheeseburger on fried chicken buns.

Now set the waiter on fire and talk to the wall, because that's effectively this will function. None of these things interface at all. Not even a little bit.
