I have Windows 10. I already have a RDC to a computer where I access QB and do some work there. How can I set up a second RDC through the internet to another Windows 10 computer? I don’t want to access both simultaneously, but at different times. Thanks.
It used to be under earlier versions of Windows (XP) one could only connect to a computer whic was setup to accept RDP connections and only the Pro versions allowed this (not home) . Maybe this has changed ?

To clarify please: The host computer is the one I am wanting to control remotely. I believe I am following the directions exactly. Additionally, I have disabled the firewall on the remote computer. I continue to get the “no go” popup, i.e., remote access has not been enabled, the computer is turned off, or connected to the network. I can open see it on the network. I’ve shared it from the root, so I can open anything, Suggestions for something I can check out greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Why, once my laptop at home is connected to my computer at the office through Remote Desktop Connection, does the computer at the office seem to move so much slower? Internet access seems to slow down and moving anything on screen is so fake. Are there settings needed to be made for this program somehow that will help the video and information transmit work ideally?
i am workig in a office. here i am using internet using Userneme and password provided by isp. this is my local internal network. my companies factory is out of main town approx 15km from my office. i want to remotely access pcs from factory to office’s pcs. should i need the same internet connection (username and password provided by isp) at factory’s computers to access office’s pcs. please help me…. it’s urgent. very urgent… thanks…
The above steps seems to be complicated. Instead, I would recommend using remote support tools such as logmein, gosupportnow, gotomypc, R-HUB, Bomgar etc. They are easy to use.
So when you try to remotely connect to your home computer from a laptop, when you log in from the laptop does it log you in to your home computer account so anyone that’s home can access your account? because i know if you use the microsoft remote desktop app your home computer needs to be on but i don’t know if you need to be logged in… hopefully what i just said makes sense

AEROADMIN may be a better option to control a computer remotely. RDC is quite handy but it may not work behind NAT. Hope this helps.
+1 for AEROADMIN. Just switched to it and it feels just great.
