This wikiHow teaches you how to access the screen of another computer on the same network using Remote Desktop on a PC with Windows Pro pre-installed, or Screen Sharing on a Mac computer. To access another computer’s screen, you need to enable Remote Desktop on the “host” computer, then we will be able to connect to that computer remotely using another computer with the same operating system. You will need the name or local IP address of the computer you want to access. Note: Windows 10 Home Edition does not support remote desktop connections.
Steps
Enable Remote Desktop on Windows

This wikiHow teaches you how to access the screen of another computer on the same network using Remote Desktop on a PC with Windows Pro pre-installed, or Screen Sharing on a Mac computer. To access another computer’s screen, you need to enable Remote Desktop on the “host” computer, then we will be able to connect to that computer remotely using another computer with the same operating system. You will need the name or local IP address of the computer you want to access. Note: Windows 10 Home Edition does not support remote desktop connections.
