Remote Desktop Connection is a part of the Microsoft operating system that allows users to connect from one computer to another. It can be accessed through the Start button on a PC running Windows 7 and above.

With Remote Desktop Connection available in Windows, users can connect to any computer terminal that is also running Windows. As long as the corresponding computer is connected to the same local network or an Internet connection can be established, the program will work. Users can usually use it to access programs and files on their office computer through another computer they use in the field or at home. When a remote desktop connection is launched, what you see on the screen is exactly the same as on the actual computer you are accessing. It’s like sitting in front of a work computer. To ensure security, network engineers can take various measures to prevent unauthorized access. Typically this may involve requiring users to enter a password before they are granted access to files and systems stored on a remote access PC.

While Remote Desktop Connection is convenient for employees who would like to access all of their clients’ files, etc. when they are away, it is also widely used by IT support staff to monitor users’ computers and diagnose problems remotely. If you’re on Windows, try it for free.
