Does Windows 7 Home Premium Support Remote Desktop Access
Hi, can anyone tell me if Windows 7 Home Premium supports remote desktop connections? In the "compare" list that Microsoft gives comparing all versions of Windows 7 there is no indication that it doesn't. But in looking at the instructions on this page: http://4sysops.com/archives/how-to-setup-remote-desktop-with-windows-7/ On the screenshot under #3 - on my computer the bottom part of that window called REMOTE DESKTOP doesn't show up! So just wondering if I need a different version.

As a client or as a server? If you want to use it to connect to another machine via Remote desktop then yes it does. If you want to connect to it from another machine then no it doesn't, you'll need Pro or Ultimate (or Enterprise) for that. But you can use a third-party solution like one of the VNC versions with Home Premium to remote into the machine.
