How to Remote Desktop to Windows
There are several ways to connect to a remote PC across the internet such as TeamViewer, LogMeIn, GoToMyPC etc. Windows has two built-in tools to access remote PC, they are Remote Desktop Connection and Remote Assistance. You can connect to another computer using Remote Desktop Connection that is running on windows platform. To access a remote PC via RDP, make sure that both PCs are powered up and that the remote access is enabled to your PC. To enable remote access on your PC, follow the below steps:
1) Power on your PC.
2) Click on Start >> Control panel >> System.
3) Click on the Remote settings link in the left task panel.
4) Select “System Properties” and click on “Remote” tab.
5) Select the radio button “Allow remote connections to this computer”.
6) Click Ok.
Follow the below steps to remote desktop to Windows.
1) Open the Start menu and type “Remote Desktop” in the search box and click on “Remote Desktop Connection”.
2) Click on “Show options”.
3) Enter the IP address and username of the target computer and click on the button “Connect”.
4) Enter password of the account you configured in the target computer’s Remote Desktop settings and click on the “OK” button.
You are now logged in to the target computer from your Windows workstation.

It says that Windows 10 Home Edition does not support Remote Desktop.
Windows 10 Home doesn’t include support for remote desktop connections, you can only enable this feature on Windows 10 Pro and business variants of the operating system. You can also use other RDP client alternatives. Eg, Chrome Remote Desktop. Which is a Chrome browser plugin to access the remote desktop.
Is there any options available if customer does not have a window 10 pro version? and if any instructional video available?
Hello Bryan,
Greetings from InterServer support.
Simply press Windows+R and type mstsc . That should open up remote desktop connection window from most of the Windows Operating Systems.
Have a great day.

I too am having this problem. The Support team keeps referring users to Live Chat. Wouldn’t it be simpler and more effective to publish a clear, easy-to-understand document explaining the steps to connect to your new VPS server? The specifics of the RDP UI are not the issue. The issue is that we don’t have any guidance from InterServer.net on how to get started and what to do when the session fails to connect.

Hello, I have been using your VPS service for about 1.5 years. I won’t be using your VPS service for a while. That’s why I stopped the VPS server. What do I need to do to stop bill payments?
Hello,
I can see the VPs is canceled and I have removed the card from the account so you will not be charged
