    Remote Desktop Connection problems


    Have you tried Remote Desktop Connection, to connect from your Windows 10 laptop to your Windows 7 desktop? Try it first, post back and tell how it went.

    Some additional help because you mentioned you are a remote newbie *Wink. The windows 7 related tutorials from our sister site the Seven Forums:


    1. On Windows 7 desktop, set network location to either Home or Work (I recommend Work):
    2. On Windows 7 desktop, allow incoming remote connections:
    3. On Windows 7 desktop, find out its IP address:
    4. On Windows 10 laptop, start the Remote Desktop application and connect to the Windows 7 desktop using the IP address from step 3 above (see Part Three in the tutorial):
    Try the above, post back how it went.

    Error connection with Remote Desktop from wphone8.1

    FelipeLanderos,

    Mysteriously I have posted this before and mysteriously Microsoft made it disappear as if by magic.

    This is probably to do with the default certificate not being accepted through your router, i.e your phone being on the internet and needing to connect to your pc behind a firewall.

    However, your post is very interesting to me, as I am having an issue on my internal WIFI network. Microsoft Remote Desktop App" from a Nokia Lumia Mobile phone. I will continue with my discussion for MS
