Microsoft Remote Desktop

[Riichardo]

I want to set up Microsoft Remote Desktop but the System Properties isn't showing me what people did in the tutorials its only showing me the top part. How do I fix this?

I'm assuming you can't see RDP but only remote assistance?

I was afraid of that. That means your using windows Home edition, not the Pro model which allows RDP to work as a host.

Both Home and Pro models come with RDP, but only the Professional version comes with the ability to use RDP as a host.

You have two options:

1. Upgrade to the Pro version of windows. (the Home to Pro upgrade costs roughly $100.)
2. Or use something like RealVNC. (I use it all the time and it works great!)
