Windows RDP - Remote Control current users on Windows 10

Up to this day, I had a Windows Server 2008, and many users logging in remotely (around 10). Going to tasks manager, I can go to users, and if a user is logged in I can "Remote Control".

Now I need another PC to act as a terminal for those users, something related to adding more users and less load.

I gave my IT guy a Windows 10 PC to do it on, as I was requested, but after working on it for 4 hours and configuring everything, he said that there is no remote control option in Windows 10, but if I want I can install Windows 7.

Does "Remote Control" exist on Windows 10 for RDP sessions?
If not, does it really exist on Windows 7, and is reformatting my only option? I just don't really want to pay for another 4 hours of configuring stuff.

Note, I did see this option in technet, and it is listed only for windows server, here.

Do not 100% sure, but you can open RDP client with /admin option, so it will force the client to connect to the console session in stead of starting a new session. But it's only for Terminal Server connections, and the default Win desktop client will already connect to the console. It must be automatically. – Strepsils – 2017-06-29T07:59:28.337

Thanks. The link you sent says windows server, and will rdpwrap do what I need? I know I can use it for multiple sessions, but can I remote control? – Amit – 2017-06-27T18:48:50.133

You can log into a session and then remote control through task manager I think. I have not used rdpwrap before, I usually use a proper windows server license. – geek1011 – 2017-07-03T21:15:01.693
