Remote Desktop to Windows 10 Home

Because I’m IT guy in family usually I have to fix everything related to computers. And once I have to do something on notebook with Windows 10 Home. To be honest I hate working on notebook. They all have different keyboard and trackpads, so it is taking a lot of time to get used to. They are slow and have single small screen. So, I decided to be smart and to use my home computer to connect to that notebook via Remote Desktop. But then I found that Windows 10 Home edition does not have support for Remote Desktop. Huge disappointment. But I didn’t give up. After searching internet, I found nice solution.

There is project https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/blob/master/README.md that can allow Remote Desktop because Windows 10 Home almost have what is needed to support Remote Desktop. You just download latest version from https://github.com/stascorp/rdpwrap/releases, extract content from .zip file to new directory and run install.bat as administrator. And after that you can connect to that machine via Remote Desktop.
