It is not possible to use Remote Desktop for WIndows 10 Home edition, you can use Remote Desktop to connect to Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise editions.
In your case you would need to upgrade to either Professional or Enterprise edition.Upgrade Windows 10 Home to Windows 10 Pro

You can use Remote Desktop to connect to Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise, Windows 8.1 and 8 Enterprise and Pro, Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate, and Windows Server versions newer than Windows Server 2008. You can't connect to computers running a Home edition (like Windows 10 Home).
Appreciate your understanding.

Amit Trivedi 6 Reputation points2022-02-11T17:38:05.863+00:00 I do use Windows 10 Home Edition at home to log into my lab PC that runs Windows 10 Pro. There is a Microsoft Remote Desktop client even for MacOS. I connected from my M1 with ease.
