Windows 10, like the previous Windows, comes with Remote Desktop feature that allows one computer to connect to and control another Windows-based computer via the Internet or Network. Before you can connect or accept the incoming remote connection, you first need to turn on Remote Desktop in Windows 10, because it is turned off by default.
Windows 7 doesn’t allow Remote Desktop connections by default – this has to be enabled by the user (or set via group policy). What happens if you’re in a bind and need quick remote access to a desktop? If you’re in a domain environment you may just be in luck.
