Windows 10: Can I connect using remote desktop to a standard child account

HiI have a machine with both parent and child accounts. Child age is below age of majority. Parent account type is admin and child account is standard. I can connect to parent account using remote desktop. But I am not able to connect to child account using remote desktop. When I make the child as admin, I am able to connect to the child account using remote desktop. When I try to child standard account to remote desktop users group, it says access s denied.So my question - is there no way I can connect to child standard account using remote desktop?Thanks

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):
   • Network Location - Set as Home, Work, or Public Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
2. On Windows 7 desktop, allow incoming remote connections:
   • Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) - Network - Windows 7 Help Forums
3. On Windows 7 desktop, find out its IP address:
   • IP Address - Locate and Find for Your Computer - Windows 7 Help Forums
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):
   • RDC - Connect Remotely to your Windows 10 PC - Windows 10 Forums
   • Notice that although the tutorial is written for Windows 10, it also applies to Windows 7

Try the above, post back how it went.

 

Change a standard Windows 10 account into a child account.

There's no direct conversion. But you can make it pretty easy:

• Open the C:\Users folder and you'll see their current profile. Copy the Documents/Pictures/Desktop folders to your own desktop temporarily.
• Create a child user account, and delete the old one.
• Drag the files from step 1 into that new account.
