ultimate99 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 My laptop is running Win 8.1 and I want to access it via my tablet which is running Win 10. Would you recommend Hyper-V or something else? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1347318-remote-access-my-laptop-recommendation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circaflex Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Are you wanting remote access from outside of your LAN? Or just for home use? You can use Remote Desktop that is built-in to both Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. You could also use TeamViewer. If you want access outside of your LAN, you could also use Remote Desktop but I would not recommend that, unless you change the default port and limit access to certain IPs only, TeamViewer would be a better option IMO. @sc302 or @BudMan might have some better solutions or recommendations.

sc302 Veteran Posted November 3, 2017 Veteran Share Posted November 3, 2017 hyper-v is a virtualization technology, not a remote desktop technology. You can use remote desktop services to accomplish what you want if they are pro machines...well the windows 8.1 machine would have to be pro. If not pro, you will need third party tools like vnc or teamviewer or one of the other many free remote control tools. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1347318-remote-access-my-laptop-recommendation/#findComment-598089008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
