I previously setup remote desktop on a Windows 10 Home computer a couple years ago, but I can't remember how I did it.
I can currently remote into the system from a Mac (local network via IP) with a password that IS NOT the password to the PC. However, I can't connect from a different PC (also running Windows 10 Home).
I am on the same network with all 3 computers. When I try and connect from a PC I get an error that it can't connect because of one of these options:
- Remote Access to the server is not enabled (it clearly is if I am able to connect from Mac screensharing)
- The remote computer is turned off (also not true)
- The remote computer is not available on the network
Can anyone assist? My main goal is to connect from a PC and also change the remote password that I am using from Mac.

The bottom line is that you cannot RDP into a Windows 10 Home operating system. You would need to either upgrade the system to Windows 10 Pro, or utilize third-party remote access application.

Perhaps so. I am awaiting feedback from the OP first, in case it was simply a misunderstanding regarding the OS capabilities. – Run5k – 2018-04-06T16:08:25.497
Does screenshare from macOS use a different protocol than RDP? – LakeEffectSnow – 2018-04-06T17:08:08.427
That's quite possible, but I am the furthest thing from a macOS guru. However, I do know a bit more about Windows than the average bear. The bottom line is that you cannot RDP into a Windows 10 Home machine from another Windows computer. You would need to use something like TeamViewer or a flavor of VNC for remote access into that machine. – Run5k – 2018-04-06T17:22:54.897
Okay, I had read that, but was confused since I can connect from macOS. – LakeEffectSnow – 2018-04-06T17:52:10.353
