Windows 10: Win10 Pro Remote Desktop WoL Login

I'm buying a full version of Windows 10 and am not sure if Pro will solve my issue with remote desktoping. In short, I need to be able to turn my computer on and login when I need to. I have no problem using WoL, but I can't login. Some services like Teamviewer will load using the app, when coming out of sleep, but if the pc was off that doesn't help. Will remote desktop login after WoL. I'd rather not waste $100 on a feature that doesn't exist.

WOL and Remote Desktop

I manage a number of PC's, a video security system and a substantial WiFi footprint for my sports aviation club and quite a lot is done remotely. I've been using Team Viewer with a lot of success but I get a little prompt from them every so often that it
looks like we are a commercial outfit which is outside the terms of free usage. Given that we're a "not for profit", I am loath to spend lots of dollars on a TV licence and I'm looking for an alternative as a result.

The PC's are a mix of desktop/laptop and all are W10 Home or Pro. All are updated to 1903 (May 2019). Remote desktop looks like it may fit the bill but a few questions if I may:-

1. Can I communicate to a Home PC from a Pro machine and vice versa?

2. Does the latest iteration include Wake On LAN (the PCs are behind a modem/router which has a fixed public IP address)?

3. If it doesn't include WOL what is the suggested alternative?

4. Can I have more than one PC connecting to the same remote unit (concurrently and independently)

Hope someone can help

Cheers...

Hi TechGuy

I downloaded Remote Desktop Manager 2.7 and I followed your advice and the following is what I found:-

1. The document your referred me to, says Windows 10 Home will not work and a connection attempt to a Home PC using Remote Desktop Manager confirms this.

2. I can't find any reference to WOL so can't enable or test it.

3. No problems, it's not a biggie.

Thanks for trying though

Cheers

Hi Daylef

I am an Independent advisor here to help

To answer your questions

1. Yes you can network and remote access between Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro

For this setup Is would recommend that you follow this guide

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server...

2. Wake on LAN is still available

4. The only way that you could have multiple computers remotely accessing the same host computer simultaneously is if the host computer is running a server version of Windows and is set up to allow multiple remote sessions simultaneously.
