Windows 10 as a Terminal Server

Hello there. Since my current pc is very powerfull I wondered if it's possible to access it with a couple or more accounts simultaneous via rdp? Is this an option and do I have to buy some licenses to enable this feature? 

I know this is an option in Windows Server eg Terminal Server. My system is an Windows 10 pro machine and It really would be an outcome if possible.

Can you tell?

    Hi JackZweers,

    I am an independent advisor and a Windows user like you, and I am hoping to help you out with this.

    Remote Desktop on non-Server Windows operating systems generally allow only one remote connection at a time, therefore you cannot have multiple accounts logging in simultaneously like Terminal Services.

    Modifying Windows 10 to do so will likely violate the Microsoft License Terms that you agreed to when installing Windows.

    If you wish to set up Remote Desktop if you haven't already, on the Windows 10 PC you wish to connect to, you can go to Start > Settings > System > Remote Desktop, and turn on Enable Remote Desktop.

    Instructions to enable remote desktop: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ca/help/402837...

    I hope this has helped you. Please reply if you need any further information!

    Regards,

    -Ashton
