Could you use an AWS workspace and run the USB remotely?

As that is all I need to do I could use a computer that doesn’t have a working monitor as long as I can plug in an external one, doesn’t have working CD/DVD drive or wireless, although I might meet to plug in to internet with CAT-5, not sure, doesn’t have working track pad or keyboard as long as it has at least one working USB outlet so I can plug in external, I don’t need sound. Hard drive size also not an issue either I am thinking (the program and data only need about 2 Gigs), laptop with dead battery also fine as long as it will work plugged in. Doesn’t even have to be super fast as long as it will run Windows 10. I don’t know what else I am not thinking of right now that it might not need and I think you get the idea, it’s just for this one program.

Eventually I will get a new machine, fully featured and functional and that just isn't in the cards at the moment so for now I just want to get this project done.
