Guidance needed to setup my Home PC access over Internet through browser

I wasn't giving steps on how to get RDP working, that is covered plenty of other places, I just give the steps to make it secure.

RDP. If they aren't tracking your Web browsing, I doubt they are going to track RDP.

And if you start the session from the command prompt it doesn't even put the address in the MRU list.

Though the question that needs to be asked now is, what are you using for your VM lab?

1. Have you connected both the laptops to the same network through which the PC is connected?
   
2. Which build version of Windows is installed on the PC’s?
   

Refer the article
Which version of Windows operating system am I running?



Meanwhile, I would suggest you to try connecting the PC to the main router and see if you are able to access the laptops.



If you are able to access the laptops, then we need to configure the network settings once again. You can refer the suggestions by
