How to work from home with Windows 10

Once your computer is open, and you are on your desktop.

Set up the PC you want to connect to, so it allows remote connections:

On the device you want to connect to, select Start > Settings > System > Remote Desktop, and turn on Enable Remote Desktop.
Take note of the name of this PC, under How to connect to this PC. You'll need this later. Use Remote Desktop to connect to the PC you set up:

On your local Windows PC or IOS device:

In the search box on the taskbar, type Remote Desktop Connection, and then select Remote Desktop Connection. In Remote Desktop Connection, type the name of the PC you want to connect to, and then select Connect.

On your computer:

Open the Remote Desktop app (available for free from the Microsoft, Google Play, and Apple stores), and add the name of the computer that you want to connect to (from Step 1). Select the remote computer name that you added, and then wait for the connection to complete.

* If you have a family version of Windows 10, it will not support remote desktops*

Note: This example was made on Windows 10, so the interface will look different if you're on a different version of Windows or another device
