hello everyone welcome to another tutorial from windows lovers.com
this is me your host Prajwal and today we'll look into how
to set up remote desktop connections on windows 10 for free so let's get started
in this video, I'm going to demonstrate how to install and use vnc server and the VNC
viewer if you're not familiar with different versions of Windows 10 you need to have at
least windows 10 professional edition for you to be able to connect or set up your computer
uh to be accessed remotely but as a workaround you can also install and use vnc which is absolutely
free for personal use and makes manageable connections or accessing your computer remotely
very easy and straightforward before we get into toggle there's two apps you will need to install
one is a vnc server and second one is a vnc viewer vnc server is the application you would
install on the cam that you would actually want to connect remotely or view remotely
vnc viewer on the other hand is the application that you install on the computer or the device
that you would use to connect to the remote computer or view the content on the remote
computer the interviewer can be installed on all the major platforms including your windows
mac os linux android and ios vng server is also compatible with most of the operating system so
if you have a linux if you have a macros open system or windows 10 opening system you will
have no issues installing and using vnc server and the vnc viewer so let's get started and see
how it's actually done first thing is you'll go and download the vnc server and the vnc viewer
i'll definitely leave all the download links in the description below so you can follow that
so first i will go and download the vnc server and second i'll go and download the vnc viewer
just make sure that you are choosing the right platform i'm using it for my windows 10 pc so
i'm going to choose windows 10 but if you're using it for your mac os operating system or any other
operating system you can choose that operating system and download the compatible version
click on download so these two are downloaded second thing is now i'm gonna go ahead and
install the vnc server on this computer because i'm gonna use another device
to remotely view or control this computer so i'm gonna install the vnc server on this computer
click on okay it's a pretty straightforward installation
next let's click on next just make sure you add an exception to the file before
venture server this is important because you are accessing this computer through
the firewall so you got to make sure that there is an exception to vnc server on the firewall
otherwise your incoming connections might be blocked click on next click on install and yes
while this is getting installed please make sure you give this video a thumbs up and subscribe for
more tutorials and if you have any issues make sure you leave them in the comments below this is
installed click finish so as you can see it's asking me to sign in to license the vnc server
alright so what you need to do now is you will need to create a free account with vnc so that you
can sign in and use it for free for your personal usage if you're using this in an organization
you'll have to purchase a premium version of vnc connect purchasing a premium version
of the interconnect also gives you different other features which might be helpful for your
organization but if you are using it for personal uses all you can do is just click on don't have an
account click on this link and it will take you to the web page where you can sign up for the account
just enter your email address and click on i'm not robot click on next and it's pretty
straightforward sign up process i have already signed up so what i'm going to do now is i'm going
to go ahead and sign in so after you've signed up and you might get a verification code or a
verification link to your email just make sure you activate account before you go ahead and sign in
so once you've done that you can go ahead and log into your vnc server or login with your email
address now it's asking me to specify a vnc password so this password is a password
that you would use on the device you're using to connect to this computer to verify the connection
or verify yourself that you have the authority or you have the rights to connect to this pc
let's click on next you can name your computer anything i'm going to name it wlovers and apply
click on yes click on done all right so now the vnc server is all set up so now this computer
can be accessed or viewed using a vnc viewer after the proper setup so i'm going to use an ipad first
to remotely connect or view the content of this computer and try to control it remotely from the
view interview on the ipad so let's see how that's done first let's go ahead and download
the app vnc viewer so let's go to app store search for vnc
enter and download vnc viewer
and tap and open and it says view interview would like to find and
connect to devices on local network tap on ok and just scroll through these
it's giving you some information and what vnc connect is and
what you can do with it just going to skip that and click on get started i can now next step is to
sign in with the same account that you've signed in your vnc server from so tap and sign in
and enter your credentials tap on continue
and you can see i've been signed in on the top left corner you can see that
and now will show me all the computers that i have configured the vnc server with
okay the first one or the recent one we configured was called wlovers so if you
want to connect to that all you got to do is double tap on it and it says connecting
and into the password that allows any computer to connect to the computer that has the vnc
server installed or configured tap on continue and now as you can see this computer has connected to
my computer this is the first time you're using that this application it will show you some
initial work arounds so it says this is your toolbar tapped into unlock it you can either skip
the tutorial or go ahead and see what tutorial is about so i'm going to skip and tutorial
this is a really important thing and how to control your computer if you are using the
mouse mode um it it suppose your gestures if you can zoom with it you can left click double click
right click all that stuff just click on done so now i can control my computer
with my ipad so that's how you use vnc server and view interfere
to remotely control or remotely connect to your computer all right so i would like to
show is there's two main modes in this bn vnc viewer for ipad so this is your normal mode
where you would use this whole screen as your touchpad so to use your mouse and everything
now there's another mode which you can toggle by click by tapping on the i on the top
and click on interaction and you will see this touch panel so what after you click on that
after you tap after you if you select touch panel so what happens is your screen is a touch screen
or your whole screen responds to any touches you do so now you can tap on start
you can tap on this you can tap to open things you can tap to move things around the only problem
with this that i find is you cannot scroll with your two fingers you cannot you you cannot scroll
or you cannot move things around or you cannot use your two fingers to scroll so i usually
have a keyboard and a mouse connected one side to use my vnc viewer to connect to my laptop
if i'm sitting on the couch or if i'm not at home
now let's see how you can access the same computer using another windows computer all right so on the
second computer all you got to do is install uh vnc viewer again like we did on the ipad
and it's the same setup same configuration and you can access
your another computer using your another laptop so what you're gonna do is go to vnc viewer download
page click on download vnc viewer for windows obviously and it will download the vnc viewer
it's about 10 megabits once the setup is downloaded double click on it
or just click on open file select your language english for me click on ok
it's preparing to install click on next accept terms and license agreement click on next
select your location where you want to install the vnc click on next and just click on install
it's asking you for permission click on yes
and once everything is completed click on finish and now the viewer has been installed
on a computer all right let's go ahead and set up the viewer just click on start and you will see
under recently added vnc viewer open that
this is a welcome page click on got it and you can either enter the vnc address what we're going to
do is we're going to sign in this is the same login details that you use to sign up for a vnc
account and the same account that you used to set up the vnc server sign in and as you can see on
the top right corner it says my name and this is the account that i have and i have three computers
the recent one i set up is wlovers so if you want to connect to that computer double click on it
so double lovers is my local pc that at the moment i'm using a virtual machine that's running windows
10 and i'm trying to connect to my local pc so double click on it connecting to the real vnc
please like this video and subscribe for more tutorials if this videos have helped make sure
you leave a comment if you have any issues and we'll get back to that now enter your password
so this is the password that you've set up on your vnc server when you are configuring the vnc server
it asks you for a password that you want to set up so that it verifies any incoming connections with
that password into the password clicking ok you can also select to remember password and click ok
at the moment it's throwing me into a loop because i am running the virtual machine on
the same computer and recording the screen at the same time and logging into the vnc viewer
to view what's happening in the screen so it's sort of going into loop but you
will be able to view your screen once you've click on connect and enter the right password
and close that for now all right before i wrap up this video there's a few things i would like to
mention the first thing is you got to make sure that your vncs server is running at all times
on your remote computer for example if i want this computer to be remotely connected at all
times i want to make sure that this vnc server is connected and the status is green that means it is
accepting incoming connections first thing second thing is this free version of vnc and almost all
the vnc versions do not support wake up on lan meaning your computer has to be up and running
and cannot be on sleep mode or hibernating or even turned off if you would like to remotely connect
to this computer so you got to make sure that you change your power settings and make sure that this
computer doesn't go to sleep at all times for you to be able to connect to it anytime you prefer the
other applications like teamviewer and there's other applications that support this feature
unfortunately vnc does not as of yet the third thing is it runs on any version of windows 10
or even windows 7 windows 8.1 regardless of what version you have the remote desktop connection
feature needs at least windows 10 professional to be able to connect or to be connected to but
you can install vnc viewer and viewnc server on any computer and you can access those computer
remotely i hope this helped please make sure you give this video a thumbs up and subscribe for more
