Ok I need to remote desktop my laptop from my PC, should be easy but its not

I can control my PC from my laptop no problem but can't go the other way
I think its because my laptop has windows 7 Home edition but my PC has & ultimate
after searching around I found this



Quote:
You can use a PC running any edition of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, or a PC running Windows 8, Windows RT, Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1 to initiate a connection. But the remote PC must be running one of these Windows operating systems:

Windows 8.1 Pro

Windows 8.1 Enterprise

Windows 8 Enterprise

Windows 8 Pro

Windows 7 Professional

Windows 7 Enterprise

Windows 7 Ultimate

Windows Vista Business

Windows Vista Ultimate

Windows Vista Enterprise

Windows XP Professional


anyone know of a way around this without having to install 3rd party software
as if thats the case I'll just upgrade my laptop to Ultimate
I'd rather not as I've had it for 3 years so a lot of software & tweaks have been added
and I will have forgotten how I did half of them or where I got the software from

and WTF do they have a allow remote desktop button in the home edition if you can't remote to it ?????

Splashtop

TeamViewer

RealVNC

I personally use TeamViewer for remote access to work computers from home.


Edit: Sorry, didn't see that you said you didn't want 3rd party software.

Not sure if this will fix your issue but I've been playing with uvnc, server and viewer. Needs to be run as administrator on win 7/8 home edition iirc.

teamviewer will do the job but there is other issues between the versions
you can't easily set up a network drive as Windows wants to use its file sharing in home network
I want / need to be able to remote desktop and have mapable network drives
looks like I may need to upgrade the laptop, though I have a 500gb drive I could drop in then go back to my
current drive if I need to access something I don't have on the other setup

What's the problem with 3rd party software? It's not like RealVNC or the alternatives are particularly invasive or resource-hungry.

Indeed, I use CentraStage... perk of work really but the free version is pretty good too.

not a lot and I do use a lot of 3rd party software to get around windows issues / restrictions
but I will use the remote desktop from many different locations and PC's
so easier to have the windows remote available and for mapping WAN share drives when I need them

I've thrown in the 500gb and got it working fine via remote desktop now
and I can have a clean setup as I need as much space as possible as it will be used to capture Gb's of data for processing

I'll try that when I put my 7 home drive back in Thumbs Up

not a big fan of chrome, takes for ever to open things for me for some reason


pretty happy with this setup though as I have a lot more space and less crap that was pre installed with the home edition
as it will be running pretty much at its max capacity when in remote mode
it will be capturing high speed (up to 200 fps) video clips as well as another camera being used to track
and control a telescope with a couple of resource heavy programs running at the same time

I understand. Not everyone knows how to use a computer.

yeah I'm a bit of a newb to this lark
but I'd rather code and set up my own system rather than a one size fits all
I'm already experimenting with some custom code to allow me to control the equipment to its best
great for me as most software is open source I can work on and tweak to suite myself
