There are a lot of ways to remote desktop into Windows from mobile devices. In the example below I am connecting to a Windows 8.1 computer with a dual-monitor setup, and can easily flip back and forth between the two. That’s all there is to it! Now you can control the host PC in real-time from your iPhone or iPad. You can set it not to ask for the PIN when connecting to the computer, which is handy if you’re remoting into a particular computer multiple times a day. I would suggest making it as long as possible for the best security.Īfter everything is set up, anytime you want to remotely access your computer, just launch the app on your iPad or iPhone, select the computer to connect to, and verify the PIN you set up on your desktop. It needs to be at least six digits but can be more. Then create a PIN to verify when you want to log in remotely. You’ll also need the Chrome Remote Desktop app for iOS installed on your iPhone or iPad.Īfter everything is set up, you’ll need to log in to your Google account and verify permissions and select the type of remote connection you want to set up.Īfter that, you’ll need to install a small remote desktop host utility. First, make sure you’re Mac or PC has the latest version of Chrome with the Remote Desktop extension installed with it. There are a few things you’ll need for this to work. If you run the Chrome browser on your computer, and also own an iPad or iPhone, this can be an easy way to get into it.
