Set up and connect to a remote computer on Windows 11
You can access your device remotely, and in this guide, we'll show you the steps to complete this task on Windows 11. On Windows 11, you can use the Remote Desktop app to control other devices in the Local Area Network (LAN) or through the internet. However, depending on where the computer is located, the app is only part of the puzzle, as you will have to configure other settings to make the connection happen. For instance, on the remote device, you will need to enable the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to allow connections (only available on Windows 11 Pro). You will need to configure port forwarding on the router if you plan to connect over the internet.
