How do I Enable Remote Desktop in Windows 10

1. Remote Access - Windows Remote Desktop Connection or RDC - Windows Remote Desktop Connection or RDC is a Microsoft built-in feature that allows users to access a computing device from a distant location. Generally, Windows RDC can only be used on the same network. You may need to establish a Virtual Private Network or VPN or directly expose your device to the internet in order for you to connect to a different network using Windows RDC. This feature is also disabled by default. So you may need to turn it on first before you can use it to establish a remote connection. To do this, follow these steps accordingly: 

• Select Start

• Type in remote settings into the Cortana search box

• Select Allow remote access to your computer

• From the System Properties, select the Remote tab

• Click Allow remote connections to this computer

• Make sure the box beside Network Level Authentication is ticked. This will ensure that you have a more secure remote access experience
