Routing to let PC on my second network card see the internet?

I have a PC on my second network card. Running 192.168.0.x subnet and talking just fine.
My primary network card is on 192.168.1.x and my router is on that subnet.
I want the remote PC to have internet access via my PC.

I've done this before in unix but not Windows. I imagine I need to add a route on my PC to let the second network card see the DNS and default gateway on my router.

Aslo, do I set the default gateway on the other PC (on the second network card) to be my router (192.168.1.254) or my PC second net card (192.168.0.1).

Thanks for the advice, rusty at this.

    RRAS role (routing / remote access) is not available on a desktop OS. Sounds like you may need a server operating system or some third party tools.

    Ah that's annoying. When I saw route commands on my PC I thought it'd be OK. The remote machine is actually running Server 2019 but my main development PC is just WIndows 10 64 bit.
