What is Remote Desktop 8?

Remote Desktop 8 is a remote desktop client from Microsoft that organizes access from a mobile device to a Windows 8 PC and its resources. Before using the product for the first time, you must perform the appropriate settings on your smartphone (tablet) and PC, following the step-by-step instructions available in the application or on the developer’s website. In general, you will need access to the account and knowledge of the IP address of the computer.

After pairing, the user can manage the processes on the computer from a mobile device, being from the PC at least thousands of kilometers away. View documents and manage files, launch applications, perform any action as if you were at your desktop. This solution is useful when working in a remote format or sharing one computer.

Features:

  • desktop and laptop resource management from the screen of a smartphone or tablet;
  • step-by-step instructions for connecting in the “Help” section;
  • high level of user data security;
  • gesture control support.

The ideal tool for using a remote connection to a PC is a tablet, since it will be problematic to work on a small screen of a smartphone in the absence of full image scaling. Remote Desktop 8 is a handy and useful tool that blurs the lines between platforms.
