Configure Remote Access - Windows 10

This manual is meant for 1A-server users. It explains how to configure a computer to allow a Remote Desktop connection. This enables a user to connect to the computer from a different location.
The Remote Desktop software is available in most versions of Windows, but is not in Windows XP Home. Before starting with this manual, check whether your computer has Remote Desktop software installed on it.

To be able to connect to a Remote Desktop, your username first has to be added to the list of Remote Desktop users by that computer's administrator.
