I have a desktop PC and a laptop both at home, and I'd like to remote into the desktop from my laptop. Both are running Windows 10, and for both I used my Microsoft account to create a user profile. The laptop uses the same password as my Microsoft account, but the desktop does not.
When I plug in the computer name and my credentials to remote in from the laptop, I am denied using both passwords. RD can recognize the desktop on the network since it asks for credentials, but won't let me in. The auto-populated used account for remoting in is MicrosoftAccount\username@host.com
. Neither my Windows account password or Microsoft account password work for this. I've also tried DESKTOPNAME\username@host.com
, no luck there either. What is the proper way to authenticate from remote desktop here?
