  1. Start Registry Editor, and locate and then click the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber

  2. On the Edit menu, click Modify, and then click Decimal.

  3. Type the new port number, and then click OK.

  4. Quit Registry Editor.

  5. Restart the computer.

Note: When you try to connect to this computer using RDP, you must input the new port.

Please read How to reference material written by others and make sure you "block quote" quoted material (Markdown help). I've fixed it for you this time, but please pay attention to this in future.

Go into your Firewall Rules and change the default port(s) OR make a new rule for whatever port you want then use IP:PORT as your address.
