Microsoft has a Remote Desktop app you can download and install to connect to other computers remotely. It’s not as user-friendly as other options on the market, such as Team Viewer, so do not expect those who are not technical-minded on the other end to initiate the connection. But the Microsoft Remote Desktop app is certainly a step up from anything the Redmond company had offered previously.
The following tutorial demonstrates how to back up and restore the Microsoft Remote Desktop app when using a version of the Windows 10 operating system.
