I get the error the Remote desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons: . . . . .

I do not know what else to check for.

Answer 1

. Enable Remote Desktop in Windows Settings

Just like changing the firewall settings, it is necessary that you allow remote connection as well if you are using remote desktop for the very first time. So in order to do this:

Search for remote settings and you will find Allow Remote connections to your computer, open it by clicking.
Now in the settings that will open check Allow remote connections to this computer and click OK to save changes.

Remote connections are now enabled and now you can use it for the very first time. In order to use this feature, you have to make sure that your computer is not in hibernation mode or sleep mode, in that case, you won’t be able to connect your computer in remote desktop.

Tip: First you will need to release remote access by Windows 10 FIREWALL, the communication port is 3389. Once this is done, go to MY COMPUTER with the right key and click MANAGE, look for the USERS tab and within the user used edit the permissions for REMOTE ACCESS (RDP). The routine is simple. Set a fixed IP on your PC according to the class of your network, use the latest numbers in the class to avoid conflicts in case other devices come to connect to your network and conflict the IP. Exe: If the class is 192.168.1.xxx, the DHCP range 192.168.100 to 199, choose 199 and place it on your WINDOWS 10. Any doubt let me know. Summary
Step by step on how to enable Remote Connection on your Windows 10.

Click Remote settings in the left corner. Select Allow remote connections to this computer (as print below):

To enable Remote Connection for Windows 10 from earlier versions of Windows, clear allow connections only from computers running remote desktop with Network Level Authentication (as highlighted in the image above)
Click OK to save to settings. Close the System screen.
Now we'll change the Network Homegroup type (if necessary):

Right-click on top of the Network Icon and select Open Network Center and Sharing:

If the network location is Public (if it's Private, remote connection for Windows 10 has been successfully configured and ready to use), we need to switch to Private. To do this click Homegroup:

Click Change network location:

Click Yes:

You don't need to create a Homegroup, simply click Close:

Note that network location has now been changed to Private:

Close the Network and Sharing Center. Your computer now accepts Remote Connections.

I hope I helped.

Thanks, as mentioned above it was the firewall.
I'm doing this internally so do not need to worry about the ports

it is working, both internally AND externally.
