Carrying or hauling around your computer devices might be stressful especially when it involves only software or little stuff. You could be trying to operate something quite complex but couldn’t get it done with online recourses. Or trying to connect two desktops or a laptop with a desktop remotely where they’ll have the same data. You can grant or accept access to people from anywhere to connect with your computer or help do some operations on the desktop or laptop.
This process is called the Remote Desktop operation where you can grant someone access over the operation of your computer either for a guild or remote repair. This can be done in some very simple steps which will be discussed in this post. It’s compulsory you only share your desktop access only with someone you trust or a well-known repair company. There are two methods you can use to get your remote desktop connections done. One is by doing it manually while the other is by using third-party apps like Google remote desktop app or Team Viewer.
