Some are paid and some are free. And also windows have it's own tool for remote connection. So here is how you can connect to remote pc from windows remote assistance.


How To Connect to Remote Desktop

How to Access Remote Desktop Connection
How to Access Remote Desktop Connection

To Connect to remote computer first you need to open Windows Utility 'RemoteApp and Desktop Connections'. 

To access this Utility, first Go to 'Control Panel' and in the search bar of control panel type 'Remote'. After that You will see the results.
Remote Desktop Manager
Remote Desktop manager 



Now first of all you need to check the settings of your PC whether it is ready to accept the remote connection and invitations. For that Click on 'Allow remote access to your computer' and check 'Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer' and also ask your friend to check these settings in his/her computer.
Remote Access desktop settings
Remote Desktop Access Settings

                                                   

Now It's time to connect to his/her computer. To do that just look on the third line stating 'Invite someone to connect to your PC and help you, or offer to help someone else'and click on it.

Click to offer or invite for a remote desktop connection
Click to Invite or offer a desktop connection


Now Windows Remote Assistance will open and will show two options for you.

Remote desktop manager for Remote Desktop Access

Now if you choose 'Invite someone you trust to help you' then your computer will be controlled by your friend and if you choose 'Help someone who has invited you' then you are the helper and will control your friend's PC.

Steps to connect to remote PC if you want help from someone


First Click on 'Invite someone you trust to help you'. And after that you will have three options on your screen.

Save this invitation as file
A file will be generated so that you can mail that file to your friend. And When he will click on that he will be able to connect to your computer.

Use email to send Invitation
If you have configured your windows mail, then select this option. However this also does the same as above one but in addition it just open your windows mail and automatically attach the remote connection invitation file.

Use Easy Connect 
The third option is 'Use Easy Connect'. If this option is available to your helper then you can click on it and the system will directly connect you to other person without any email hassle.

Remote Desktop Assistance Options

Now in my best practice if 'Use Easy Connect' is available then click on it and then it will create a key which you need to send to your friend. And also you friend need to click on 'Use Easy Connect' to enter the key. And then wait for the connection.

Now other better and more simpler method is to generate an invitation file and send it to friend from online mail. For that Click on 'Save this invitation as a file' and then save that file to your desktop and the key will generated again and mail key and file to your friend. And as soon as he will open that file, and will enter the password generated, remote connection to your computer will automatically establish.
Invitation File Windows Remote Assistance
Invitation File Windows Remote Assistance

Now that's all the third option 'Use email to send invitation' is not a good option as it will then ask you to setup your windows mail. But if you have already have set your windows mail then it's a good choice for you. Still you need to send password generated. 


Steps to connect to Remote PC if you want to help someone

Now if you want to control your friend's PC then these options are for you.
