Windows 10: Remote deactivation of windows 11 on gaming pc from laptop

hi, im having trubble deactivating my current windows 11 on my gaming pc and cant find any way to do it. i need to reinstall it on a new gaming pc because my old SSD got corrupted and can not be saved including all my old fiels can it be done from my laptop?

Why my credentials do not work when I try to use the remote desktop connection from a laptop ?

All the steps need to be done on Desktop PC with windows 11 Pro to which you are trying to connect, I assume your Desktop PC is windows 11 Pro and Laptop is Windows 11 Home

Make sure below steps are done on Desktop PC and laptop is installed with remote desktop client, no steps required to do on your laptop

How to remotely access my Windows 11 pc from a Windows 7 pc

Hello ValiantBoy，



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community forum.



To remotely access your Windows 11 PC from a Windows 7 PC, you can use the Remote Desktop feature. Here are the steps to follow:



1. On your Windows 11 PC, go to Settings > System > Remote Desktop and turn on the toggle switch for "Enable Remote Desktop."



2. Note down the PC name or IP address of your Windows 11 PC. You can find this information under the "PC name" section on the same Remote Desktop settings page.



3. On your Windows 7 PC, click on the Start menu and search for "Remote Desktop Connection."



4. Open the Remote Desktop Connection app and enter the PC name or IP address of your Windows 11 PC in the "Computer" field.



5. Click on "Connect" and enter your Windows 11 PC's username and password when prompted.



6. You should now be able to access your Windows 11 PC remotely from your Windows 7 PC.



Note that both PCs need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network for this to work. Also, make sure that Remote Desktop is allowed through the Windows Firewall on your Windows 11 PC.



I hope the information above is helpful.



If you have any question or concern, please feel free to let us know.

Can i use Remote Desktop on Windows 11 Pro to log in remotely to use the computer while my son plays games on it locally

Hi, I am trying to understand if I can log via Remote Desktop in to my son's powerful gaming desktop with Windows 11 Pro while he plays games on it. I figured out how to enable Remote Desktop and logged in but it forces the local user to log out/lose control when i log in with Remote Desktop.

I just need to browse the web and do other non-intensive tasks. I found another thread dated February 13 that gives step by step instructions on how to enable this but it's not working for me and i don't understand the last step where it says to remove the windows password. Use Remote Desktop while also logged in. Windows 11 Pro - Microsoft Community Is this only supposed to work if the computer has no Windows password?

The problem is my son is not an administrator on the computer and i need two different users so i can log in as administrator and he can still log in as himself with Microsoft Family controls.

Can anyone help explain if what i am asking is possible and step by step instructions on how to do it?

Thank you!
