On the tile for your VM, ensure the VM is running and select the Connect icon.
When you connect to a Linux VM, you see two options to connect to the VM: SSH and RDP. Select the Connect via RDP option. If you're connecting to a Windows VM, you don't need to choose a connection option. The RDP file downloads.
Open the RDP file on your computer with Microsoft Remote Desktop installed. Your computer should start to connect to the VM.
When prompted, enter your user name and password.
If you receive a certificate warning, you can select Continue.
