Settings > System > Remote Desktop.) - You
have administrative access to the computer, as only accounts with
appropriate permissions can use RDP. - You’re
using a Windows edition that supports RDP, such as Windows 10/11 Pro or
Enterprise (Home editions do not support RDP hosting).
After checking follow these steps.
- Open

whoami and press Enter. - Read
the Output: - You’ll
see something like DESKTOP-ABC123John. Here, DESKTOP-ABC123 is your

as the full username when prompted and then enter your PC password.
