Partial The clipboard sync and file transfer over local Wi-Fi are buildable with standard socket and discovery code and two apps. Remote control of the PC from a phone needs low-latency screen streaming and input injection, which is harder and platform-specific.
What it would actually take: Expect a Windows desktop app, an Android app, and a LAN discovery and pairing protocol, with clipboard and file transfer over encrypted sockets. Remote control needs screen capture, video encoding (such as H.264 hardware encoding), low-latency streaming, and Windows input injection. Building that reliably takes Windows and Android systems experience and careful security design for pairing.
