Your home edition of windows 10 doesnt support remote desktop
Upgrading to Windows 10 Pro just to use a specific functionality is not wise and when there are so many remote desktop apps available on Windows Store. Nevertheless, nobody can rule out the sophistication of a native Windows tool.
If you go to Windows Settings app –> System –> Remote Desktop, connect to a remote system, you will see the following error message if you are using Windows 10 Home Edition:
“Your edition of Windows 10 doesn’t support Remote Desktop”
Remote Desktop settings in Windows 10Microsoft disabled the tool on Windows 10 Home but did not remove it entirely. With a workaround, you can still enable the premium feature reserved for Windows Pro users without buying an expensive license of Windows 10 Pro.
Trust me! You don’t have to be a computer person or geek to make Windows Remote Desktop tool work on your Windows 10 Home PC. All you need to do is to download a file and install it on your Windows 10 Home PC.
Let’s go through the steps involved to setup remote desktop in Windows 10 Home edition.

Hi @IsabelleBintner-9903,
It is not possible to use Remote Desktop for WIndows 10 Home edition, you can use Remote Desktop to connect to Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise editions.
In your case you would need to upgrade to either Professional or Enterprise edition.

Hi,
You can use Remote Desktop to connect to Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise, Windows 8.1 and 8 Enterprise and Pro, Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate, and Windows Server versions newer than Windows Server 2008. You can't connect to computers running a Home edition [like Windows 10 Home].
Appreciate your understanding.
For your reference

Hi all,
and what about the PC that is the client, the one that starts the remote desktop session: that PC can be HOME edition?
thanks

I do use Windows 10 Home Edition at home to log into my lab PC that runs Windows 10 Pro. There is a Microsoft Remote Desktop client even for MacOS. I connected from my M1 with ease.
