RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) allows you to access and control a computer remotely over a network connection. This means you can use a different device to interact with the desktop environment, files, and applications of the remote computer as if you were sitting in front of it.
To get RDP access:
- Enable Remote Desktop on the target computer (usually found in System Properties on Windows).
