Hello, this is TheTechBoy with a special article.

    Connecting to RDP is hard when you are a personal user. All the tutorials are ridiculous or set for a domain network. Her is how to USE RDP on a personal computer and a private network.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding, ensure the following:

• Remote Desktop is enabled on your Windows computer. (You can check this in 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.

1. Open Command Prompt:
• Press Wins + R, type cmd, and hit Enter.
2. Run the whoami Command:
• Type whoami and press Enter.
3. Read the Output:
• You’ll see something like DESKTOP-ABC123\John. Here, DESKTOP-ABC123 is your computer name, and John is your username. For RDP, you can use DESKTOP-ABC123\John as the full username when prompted and then enter your PC password.
