Enable Remote Desktop on Windows Home Editions


For a long time you had to have the Professional or Enterprise Editions of Windows in order to access the computer using Remote Desktop. Now, thanks to a couple of committed developers, we can enable RDP functionality on Windows Home Editions as well!.

Please note, I tested this on Windows 10 Single Language, but it should work for 8/8.1,7 and Vista

Step 1:

Download the latest RDP Wrapper Library from: https://github.com/binarymaster/rdpwrap/releases

Step 2:

Extract the zip file using your favourite unzipping program, I like 7zip!

Step 3:

Open the folder, and right click on install, then select, "Run as administrator"

Click Ok when in the user account control window.

You should now see the installation status window:
Press any key to exit.

You should now be able to connect to this computer remotely!

RDPWrap also gives some extra options if your run RDPConf.exe

  4. Fantastic... It works perfectly for me. If Windows 10 Home doesn't listen after installation, run the update.exe in admin mode. That's what I did and everything stated working.

    Thanks a lot OP.
