I just got back into Old School RuneScape for the first time since 2008ish, and I'm pretty sure playing on my laptop with its smaller screen is causing my headaches. I've been meaning to get a desktop for a while now, and this is as good of a time as any. My main requirements are a decent sized screen (shouldn't be a problem with a desktop I don't think) and the ability to install Windows 10 on it (ie there are drivers that will allow the hardware to work on Windows 10). My budget is $1000, but that's a soft limit.

My understanding is that closing the laptop puts it in sleep/hibernation mode and therefore unable to run anything. If I'm wrong that would certainly solve this particular problem, although I've been wanting a desktop for other reasons for a while now.
You can change it in the power options, so that closing the laptop does nothing/leaves it running.
It's configurable in power options. Here ya go: https://www.howtogeek.com/412876/how-to-keep-your-laptop-on-with-the-lid-closed-on-windows-10/
The warning about shutting it down they give on there is important. I once closed mine up and put it under a pillow but it was still awake. It got so hot I could barely touch it and I was sure it was going to be bricked. Fortunately it hadn't been under there for too long so it was still alive and I was hella relieved (it was new at the time). I'm sure it would have been dead if it stayed under there for much longer.
