Most motherboards have an onboard video, unless you are gaming you should just use the onboard video card to browse/surf the web. You need to go to your BIOS and enable onboard video in your BIOS because when the motherboard detects a GPU, it automatically disables it.

Which motherboard do you have exactly?

If you don't have onboard video, then you can browse with one of the mining GPUs but you should disable them when you are browsing because you will run into crashes due to instability. Even surfing the web can cause the mining GPUs to easily crash. If using Claymore just hit "0" or "1" and it will disable the GPU.

Here with Windows 10 + rx 5700xt I can use internet, youtube, design programs etc normally, without need to close the miner.
Only high demand programs need to disable the miner

It depends of the CPU and ram too, if you have only a celeron with 4gb for example, maybe it's hard to manage but with a Ryzen 1700 and 16gb ram + nvme SSD that I have, totally possible
