Quickly create a secure connection between two Windows PCs with Remote Desktop for Windows 10.

Remote Desktop for Windows 10 uses the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to quickly and securely connect two computers from anywhere in the world. This amazing service can be invaluable in certain situations, and it will let you control practically any of your Windows devices with a few clicks of the mouse. Once you are connected, you will be able to upload files, download files, open programs, and carry out important maintenance tasks.

To create a secure connection with Remote Desktop, you will need to spend a little bit of time setting up both of the devices that you will be using. Most Windows PCs have robust security systems that automatically deny remote connections. Luckily, this software was made by Microsoft, and it allows you to bypass those security features within the app itself. Once the program has been installed on both of the devices, you must then send a request and verify the connection.

In addition to letting you upload and download files, this software can also be used by IT specialists to help you with any computer problems that you are experiencing. Overall, this is an excellent piece of software for anyone who needs to remotely access a Windows device.
