Accessing Windows Server 2022 from Windows 10 Home edition

Question

My company is about to setup a windows server 2022 system for my team. We would all like to concurrently use it through RDP. Our RDP clients (the laptops from which we will access the server remotely) are running windows 10 home editions.

I'm aware that Win10 home cannot be a RDS host, but can work as a client. However, our seller said otherwise.
So due to conflicting information, I would appreciate if forum members can clear the below question up:

Can I remotely access Windows server 2022 Standard Edition (with remote access licenses available) from a Windows 10 home laptop?

If the answer is yes, then it fixes my doubts right away. If the answer is no, is there an alternative solution to let multiple users access their user-accounts only?

Answer 1

Hi Prem,

You can use your Windows 10 Home Edition to connect remote servers , there is no such limitations. Check this windowsdesktop

Even I use Windows 10 Home Edition and I connect to Azure VMs remotely. No issue Prem.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

It's mainly the RDP app connecting to RDP server, not the client OS as it.
You can even use a Linux or iMac to connect to. I have an Android tablet with RDP app, works too ... even if you can not see much on an 10" display ;-)

If by this you meant creating a domain, then windows 10 home edition cannot join an active directory domain, otherwise should not be an issue.
