I would like to have remote access to my desktop by my iPad Air2, IOS 9.2.1 & I would like to remote access my sister's laptop running Windows 10 home version. I have wireless connection & she is wired if that makes any difference. The research I have done tells me I need the Pro version at $200 or I need to run a server. I have SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition in my program files that I can run. Will that server allow me to use Remote Desktop? I obviously know nothing about this so please do not be technical in your answers. Do you have any inexpensive suggestions? I would appreciate any help.
