Use Remote Desktop on your Windows, Android, or iOS device to connect to a Windows 10 PC from afar.

1. Set up the PC you want to connect to so it allows remote connections:

   • Make sure you have Windows 10 Pro. To check, go to Start > Settings > System > About and look for Edition. For info on how to get it, go to Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro.

   • When you're ready, select Start > Settings > System > Remote Desktop, and turn on Enable Remote Desktop.

   • Make note of the name of this PC under How to connect to this PC. You'll need this later.

2. Use Remote Desktop to connect to the PC you set up:

   • On your local Windows 10 PC: In the search box on the taskbar, type Remote Desktop Connection, and then select Remote Desktop Connection. In Remote Desktop Connection, type the name of the PC you want to connect to (from Step 1), and then select Connect.

   • On your Windows, Android, or iOS device: Open the Remote Desktop app (available for free from Microsoft Store, Google Play, and the Mac App Store), and add the name of the PC that you want to connect to (from Step 1). Select the remote PC name that you added, and then wait for the connection to complete.

Remote Desktop Server

A good player for mac. You must activate a license server before it can issue Remote Desktop Services client access licenses (RDS CALs) to Remote Desktop clients. Activation allows the license server to make subsequent secure transactions with Microsoft and receive RDS CALs. After you have activated your license server, it becomes a registrar for the RDS CALs. Each user or device accessing a licensed Windows Server requires a Windows Server CAL or a Windows Server and a Remote Desktop Services (RDS) CAL. With the User CAL, you purchase a CAL for every user who accesses the server to use services such as file storage or printing, regardless of the number of devices they use for that access.
