You can use Remote Desktop to connect to and control your PC from a remote device by using a Microsoft Remote Desktop client (available for Windows, iOS, macOS and Android). When you allow remote connections to your PC, you can use another device to connect to your PC and have access to all of your apps, files, and network resources as if you were sitting at your desk.

Note

You can use Remote Desktop to connect to Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise, Windows 8.1 and 8 Enterprise and Pro, Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate, and Windows Server versions newer than Windows Server 2008. You can't connect to computers running a Home edition (like Windows 10 Home).

To connect to a remote PC, that computer must be turned on, it must have a network connection, Remote Desktop must be enabled, you must have network access to the remote computer (this could be through the Internet), and you must have permission to connect. For permission to connect, you must be on the list of users. Before you start a connection, it's a good idea to look up the name of the computer you're connecting to and to make sure Remote Desktop connections are allowed through its firewall.

How to enable Remote Desktop

The simplest way to allow access to your PC from a remote device is using the Remote Desktop options under Settings. Since this functionality was added in the Windows 10 Fall Creators update (1709), a separate downloadable app is also available that provides similar functionality for earlier versions of Windows. You can also use the legacy way of enabling Remote Desktop, however this method provides less functionality and validation.

Windows 10 Fall Creator Update (1709) or later

You can configure your PC for remote access with a few easy steps.

  1. On the device you want to connect to, select Start and then click the Settings icon on the left.
  2. Select the System group followed by the Remote Desktop item.
  3. Use the slider to enable Remote Desktop.
  4. It is also recommended to keep the PC awake and discoverable to facilitate connections. Click Show settings to enable.
  5. As needed, add users who can connect remotely by clicking Select users that can remotely access this PC.
    1. Members of the Administrators group automatically have access.
  6. Make note of the name of this PC under How to connect to this PC. You'll need this to configure the clients.

Windows 7 and early version of Windows 10

To configure your PC for remote access, download and run the Microsoft Remote Desktop Assistant. This assistant updates your system settings to enable remote access, ensures your computer is awake for connections, and checks that your firewall allows Remote Desktop connections.

All versions of Windows (Legacy method)

To enable Remote Desktop using the legacy system properties, follow the instructions to Connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Connection.

Should I enable Remote Desktop?

If you only want to access your PC when you are physically using it, you don't need to enable Remote Desktop. Enabling Remote Desktop opens a port on your PC that is visible to your local network. You should only enable Remote Desktop in trusted networks, such as your home. You also don't want to enable Remote Desktop on any PC where access is tightly controlled.

Be aware that when you enable access to Remote Desktop, you are granting anyone in the Administrators group, as well as any additional users you select, the ability to remotely access their accounts on the computer.

You should ensure that every account that has access to your PC is configured with a strong password.

Why allow connections only with Network Level Authentication?

If you want to restrict who can access your PC, choose to allow access only with Network Level Authentication (NLA). When you enable this option, users have to authenticate themselves to the network before they can connect to your PC. Allowing connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with NLA is a more secure authentication method that can help protect your computer from malicious users and software. To learn more about NLA and Remote Desktop, check out Configure NLA for RDS Connections.

If you're remotely connecting to a PC on your home network from outside of that network, don't select this option.

With the addition of FIFA 16 to the Origin Vault today, there's no better time to hook up your PS4 remote to use on your PC! Our easy step-by-step guide takes you through the preliminary setup, and all you'll need to do after your first use is press your PS4 remote's power button, and you're good to go!

The remote should work with any game that supports controller support, whether on Origin, Steam, UPlay, or even on your browser!

Here's what you'll need to get started:

  1. A PlayStation 4 remote (This setup also works for a PS3 remote, as well as off-brand remotes)
  2. A Bluetooth connection on your PC (If you don't have a Bluetooth Adapter installed, you can buy a simple Bluetooth USB Dongle for less than $10)
  3. InputMapper (we'll tell you where to find this in just a second)

1. Bluetooth Setup and Settings

First up, if you've bought a new USB Dongle, you'll want to set this up yourself and continue with the next paragraph. These often either have a plug-and-play feature, or require a software download to install.

With your Bluetooth hardware set up, go to your Bluetooth Settings on your PC. If you're not sure where this is located, you can just press the Start button and search for Bluetooth, and you'll find Bluetooth Settings easily.

2. Connecting your remote

When you open your Bluetooth Settings, your device should start scanning for Bluetooth devices immediately. So to pair your PS4 remote, you'll first need to set it up for sharing mode. To do this, simply hold the Share button and the PS buttons simultaneously!

This will cause the remote's front lights to pulsate very quickly for roughly 20 seconds. This is much quicker than the normal on-and-off pulsing lights, so make sure you hold the buttons simultaneously to get your remote in sharing mode.

You should now be able to find your PS4 remote with your Bluetooth Settings.

You can now click on the Wireless Controller option on your PC, and then click pair. This should stop your Remote's light from flickering, and set it to a static blue light. Depending on your PC, it could take a few seconds to a minute for the device to get paired, at which point the Bluetooth Settings status will show up as Connected.

3. Driver Download (InputMapper)

Next up, you need to head to InputMapper's download page here, and download the latest version of the software. You'll probably want to stay away from the Alpha, so just download the main version of the driver, which looks like this:

When that's taken care of, go through the simple installation, and make sure you have a Shortcut to the app on your Desktop. (This app is completely safe; we've used it in over a dozen devices without any issues whatsoever)

4. Connecting your device to InputMapper

If InputMapper didn't open on its own, open it from your Desktop. The software should instantly recognize your device, and show you a screen like the following;

If your remote isn't shown in the software, ensure it is turned on by pressing the PS button. If the Remote is on, but not connecting, try closing InputMapper completely, and opening it again.

And that's all!

If your PS4 Remote is showing up on InputMapper, you're good to go, and can access your games as normal.

To turn your PS4 Remote off, you can simply go to InputMapper, click on your Remote and click on Disconnect Bluetooth.

To start it up again, you simply need to open InputMapper, and then turn your Remote back on.

(Note: Do not disconnect or unpair your Remote from the PC, as this would mean you'd need to run through the setup again.)

Connect Ps4 Remote To Pc

You can charge the Remote normally, by connecting it to a USB socket on your PC, or to the wall. Keep in mind that if you connect it back to a PlayStation, you'll need to run through the Bluetooth Pairing again, as the device can only pair to one console at a time.

You can also use these settings to connect multiple Remotes to your PC. If your Bluetooth Adapter doesn't support multiple connections however, you might have to buy additional Dongles to connect the different devices.
