How to resolve error "Unable to connect to rdp server" with Remmina?

Question

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 and I am trying to connect to a Windows 10 Home computer remotely on the network using Remmina. Remote connections seem to be enabled on the Windows 10 machine (at least for a user [email protected]). However, no matter if I try to connect (within the local network 192.168.1.20) as admin or the user with [email protected] I always get the error

Unable to connect to rdp server 192.168.1.20

after 1-2 minutes after I tried to connect. I also tried to use various Security protocols (TLS, RDP), and I checked the directory ~/.freerdp/, which is empty.

Searching the internet for some help I only found the above tips I already tried. Is there something else I can try to resolve this problem?

Solution

As per Microsoft's official web under Compare Windows 10 Editions, Your HOME edition doesn't have RDP (remote desktop) facility. I'm not sure whether you have mixed up Remote Assistance with RDP as they are two different features.

Hope this clear your query.

Ok, thanks. Do you know if there are other ways of a remote connections possible?

Given that, its a home edition, you might require an upgrade to PRO to use the feature. Else, all I could think of is using an app similar to Teamviewer as a remote access but not RDP.
