    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.

    make sure his account has a password, then rightclick on my computer>properties>remote tab.

    check the box that says "allow users to remotly connect to this comptuer" and thats it.

    Also if he has more than one computer behinda router make sure you port forward the RD port to his computer.

    Also note that windows XP one supports one active session as a time, so when you are remoted into the computer he will not be able to use it (he will see the windows login screen.)

    To connect to it point your remote desktop client to his external IP (his routers IP) and it should connect just fine.

    Remote Desktop Connection Won't Connect

    Hi,

    Looking for some help in setting up Remote Desktop Connection.

    On my Surface Pro 4 running Win10 release 10586 I installed the Remote Desktop Preview today from the Store.

    On my desktop running the same version of Win10 I installed the Remote Desktop Assistant created a file and copied that to my SP4. I have enabled Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer and Allow remote connection to this computer. I added my
    user account to Remote Desktop Users and have this account setting on the SP4.

    I can't connect, keep getting a screen when I try to connect saying it can't connect but no information. I checked the Windows Firewall settings, Remote Desktop is allowed. Tried Network Level Authentication deselected and selected, but no change. Looking
    on Bing couldn't find a solution. Any suggestions?
