Ever wished you could use a computer from your smartphone ?

We know there's a remote connection from computer to computer, but using the same on your phone is just awesome.
Good thing is, its quite straight forward.
  • Step 1 : Allow remote access from Windows.
    Just search for "Allow remote connection" in settings. You'll get the system properties window.



    Choose the "Allow remote connection to this computer" radio on the bottom and uncheck the "Allow connections only from computers running...." check box.
  • Step 2 : Get the Microsoft Remote Desktop App from the playstore.

  • Step 3 : Find the IP address of your computer. I'm assuming the two devices are on the same network.
    Go to Network and Sharing Center Click on the name of your network in blue, choose details.



    Your IP is marked as the "IPv4 Address".
  • Step 4 : Go to the app and enjoy. Here's a demo :

Do try the app and tell us what you think!
