RDC

RDC stands for Remote Desktop Connection, a protocol developed by Microsoft that allows users to access and control a computer remotely from another device over a network connection.

To use RDC, you need to have the RDC client software installed on the local device and the RDC service enabled on the remote computer. Open the RDC client, enter the remote computer's IP address or hostname, and click connect to establish a remote session.

RDC is compatible with various versions of Windows, including Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, and Windows Vista. Additionally, there are RDC clients available for macOS, iOS, Android, and other platforms.
