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.

 

Windows 10 - Remote Desktop Connection

Concerning Windows 10, not Pro but the Home version, as Ahollister stated differently, users can search their root directory for "mstsc" in windows explorer.

After windows explorer finds all files with "mstsc" within the file name, sort the list and find the one that belongs here:

C:\Windows\System32\mstsc.exe

In the windows explorer window, right click on it, then choose to add to the desktop as a shortcut. Afterwards, click on it and discover that it's the same as Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) in Windows 7 Home.

Provide the usual information in the Computer field, located on the RDC dialogue box (i.e. pop up), such as 11.11.34.20, or whatever local address that gains access to the remote computer attempting to be accessed on an office network remotely.

Follow through in the same RDC dialogue box and add a user name and password in the User Name and Password fields then check the box to Save Credentials.
