    Remote Desktop for Win 10 Home


    Last week I set up, and used, the Remote Desktop utility for Windows 10 Home, but I have been trying to access in now and coming up with this message
    Remote Desktop for Win 10 Home [​IMG]


    I have restarted my system, I have reinstalled the RDPWrap file, checked the Firewall settings...nothing works.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Windows 10 "Home" verson Remote Desktop capability.

    @KPIB,

    That is probably not exactly what @Crutch_s is looking for.

    For benefit of those people that use Remote Desktop and upgrading to Windows 10 from Windows 7 Home premium, here is a note of my quick observations.

    There are several "editions" of Windows 10, all are listed here:

    Windows 10 Editions

    A partial snippet of this page on Microsoft's website:

    Bottom line:

    If you are upgrading from Windows 7 Home Premium, then with free Win 10 upgrade, you get the Win 10 HOME License. Windows 10 Home, as one can see from the link above, does not have capabilities to Remote IN. By Remote IN, I meant a use case where one needs
    to access a WIN 10 Home machine remotely from another Remote desktop client(phones, XP machines etc.) or Win 10 server machine.

    If you are upgrading from Windows 7 Pro to Win 10, you get the PRO upgrade with remote desktop HOST(and client software).

    Personally I wish Microsoft had included Remote Desktop Host in Windows 10 Home Edition as well. I'm now about to buy the upgrade pack to Windows 10 PRO for all those Win 10 HOME machines that I have in my home network.

    Thanks!!

    -> Of course it will - simply use the "mountain" symbol in the post's task bar.

    -> Note also that Remote Desktop is not available on Windows 10 Home.

    Thank you Frederik,

    So you are saying I can do remote desktop from my Windows 10 Home computer but I cannot do a remote desktop session connection to it?

    If I upgrade to Win 10 Pro, will I be able to remote in to it via remote desktop?

    Seems curious to me I could not find any documentation on line that pointed out that deficiency (for lack of a better term) in Win 10 Home.

    Regards,

    David

    Remote Desktop for Win 10 Home

    That is because Windows Home does not have the capabilities. Use TeamViewer, which is a lot more secure.

    That's strange because last week I was able to remote into it just fine.

    RDP has been getting downgraded for a while by Microsoft. Just use Teamviewer and you will find it to be easier to use, especially with being very secure and multi-platform capable.

    RDP on home machines has been an issue going back to when Microsoft introduced it to the Home platform.
