Remote Desktop Connection is built into Windows but also exists as a Universal app (Opens in a new window) in the Microsoft Store for Windows 10 and 11. Remote Desktop is not supported with Windows 10 or 11 Home edition. To start or accept a remote connection, the computer must be running Windows 10 or 11 Pro or Enterprise. Through RDC, you can remotely access multiple Windows computers over the same network, whether they’re at home or at your office. If you remotely log into your employer’s network through a VPN or other security gateway, you can use RDC to connect to other PCs in your office or business, assuming your IT department allows it.

Need to access a remote system from your computer or mobile device? Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) tool will let you connect from afar. As long as the remote Windows computer is turned on and set up for a remote connection, you can grab a file, open an application, troubleshoot a problem, or just work remotely.
