Microsoft Remote Desktop

Microsoft Remote Desktop is a handy little tool that lets you connect to Windows computers from your Mac. This means you can access files, give support, and do so much more without being at your desk. How cool is that?

Easy Setup for Remote Connections

Managing all your remote connections is super simple. You’ll use the main window of Microsoft Remote Desktop to save different setups and connect to various machines with just a click of your mouse.

Getting Started is a Breeze

To kick things off, hit the “New” button on the top toolbar. Now you can start setting up your connection! Just give the target computer a friendly name, type in its PC name (which can be its hostname or IP address), and set up any gateways in Preferences.

Don’t Forget About Settings!

The Windows computer you want to connect to must be ready for remote access. So make sure those settings are in place before trying to connect. If you're not sure what to do, check out this online support documentation. It'll guide you through it.

Customize Your Connection Experience

When you're setting up a connection, Microsoft Remote Desktop lets you choose how everything looks! You can pick the resolution, color quality, and even whether you want full-screen mode or not. Plus, if you're using multiple monitors, there are options for that too!

Sophisticated Features at Your Fingertips

You can also decide where sound plays from—on your device or on the remote PC—or even mute it completely. Want to forward printing devices? Swap mouse buttons? Or enable folder redirection? You got it!

Your Go-To Tool for Quick Connections

This software is perfect if you need quick access to data stored on Windows PCs or if you're planning real-time presentations. With Microsoft Remote Desktop, connecting remotely has never been easier!
