Cannot access RDP to a Windows 8.1 machine.
My new Windows 8.1 is not letting my laptop remote in using RDP.   The laptop is windows 7 but should not matter.

Hi,

Which operating system version do you use? Remote Desktop is only available in the Win 8.1 Pro edition.  See this comparison:

Have you enabled Remote Desktop Connection?

What is the error message when you try to remote to the Windows 8.1?

Well I will be darn.   Yes that must be it.   My machine had windows 7 and it worked great.  So I upgrade to Windows 8.1 and they take the option away unless I want to pay an additional $100 to get the Pro.   Great way to treat your loyal customers Windows.
