It’s like carrier pigeons except it’s desktops and laptops instead of pigeons.

You can do it with Remote Desktop but it would be slow and annoying.

Using TeamViewer which is free, or a more professional Real VNC which is fast and works nicely.

I’d recommend RealVNC for games, but it will still be slower than actually being on that computer and doing the job.

TeamViewer is also good if you don’t know how to set up your firewall.

RDP, (Remote Desktop Portal), works on a server client model. The PC you are remoting is the server, while you are on the client. You are connecting to your “server” or remote computer using the microsoft terminal services client. You can initiate this by typing mstsc from your run command and typing in the remote machines IP or FQDN. This will connect you to that PC in a fully virtual environment. To everyone else, it will look as your screen is locked, to you it will look like you are actually using your other PC.

To enable remote connections, right click my computer and then “remote” tab. Check both options.

Both client and server have to be on the same network. And I disagree, its not slow at all, it is free, and there are no agents to install like with realVNC.
