Need help RDC from laptop Win10 Home to desktop Win10 Pro

I'm new to this forum and I need help. I contacted MS support and was told that I could not RDC from my laptop that has Windows 10 home to my desktop that has Windows 10 Pro. I was told that both had to be Windows 10 Pro. I don't think that is true. Can someone help me?

I'm easily confused in network stuff when it comes to configuring routers, permissions, stuff like that. I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me get my network established and permissions set. Then I can RDC and run programs on my desktop from my laptop. I have some graphics programs that just don't perform well on my laptop, but work very well on the desktop.

Thanks in advance,

Rod

I wouldn't go as far as to say that the MS person is a moron, but indeed it can be done. The tutorial written by Kari may seem a lot to take in for you if you want to quickly set up a rdp connection, but if you're new to this, my advice would be to pour yourself a cup of coffee and take your time to read through it. There are a lot of images (screenshots), so progressing through the tutorial goes fluently

Anyway, good luck and let us know how it went

Thanks to sml156 and erikg for your responses. I will read through the tutorial and let you know how it goes.

Hi there

Glad it worked -- but pity you didn't get the name of that Imbecile at Ms support --you should file a complaint.

Trouble is so much "Support" (does that word actually exist in English any more !!!) is off shored / outsourced so Ms (and other large companies) don't have any direct control over the quality of staff in some of those outfits -- a Robot would have given you the correct answer.

I wonder how many people have for example upgraded needlessly their version of Windows based on receiving the wrong advice from this type of service.

I see you are in the USA -- well "Sue the Pants" off Ms - saying you had to spend TIME AND MONEY (don't forget to charge handsomely for your time) on sourcing, and installing a new version of Windows plus re-installing all your applications -- say 1 Days work -- 2,000 USD would be good for starters knowing typical U.S Lawyers fees.

A few of those and I'm sure the quality of service would be mega improved !!!!. Even if it doesn't go to Court or gets thrown out the thought of zillions of similar cases will certainly wake Ms up a bit. !!!

I faced the same problem one month ago.windows 10 has a set all driver but if any time did not install correctly then face some problem like this.
