Hey,
I want to use remote desktop but it ask me to pay 130$ CAD so roughtly 100%US to upgrade windows to do so. That's frustating! Can someone explain me a way to bypass this *fraud*?
They ask me to upgrade to windows 11 pro! I'm not a pro but I want to use this basic feature with my PC.

Hello Antoine, this is Emily.
Remote desktop feature is a feature that's available for Windows Pro edition only. Let me clarify that - this specifically means it is for the computer you want to remote INTO, not for the computer you want to remote FROM.
If you don't want to go the Pro upgrade route, you can consider third party option. For example, Teamviewer if free for personal use.

You are welcome. Then unfortunately you do need Pro edition for that computer. Also, it is meant for computers wthin the same network. If these computers are not in the same network, you have to do port forwarding and some other configuration. These are normally for work place/organization settings. I think it is probably a better option for you to consider Teamviewer instead. Good luck!
I think you can use remote desktop on google chrome.
It’s good for me. I can restart the remote pc smoothly.
Hello Emily,
Can I use "Remote Desktop" provided be Google Chrome?
