Chancer Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Hi,I have an HP Stream 7 tablet. It comes with Windows 8.1. It is a nice little tablet.I want to be able to connect to it remotely but being 8.1 as opposed 8.1 pro the option to allow remote connections is not available.I recall in the days of XP there was a hack to allow this! Does anyone know of anything similar for Win 8.1?I know I can upgrade to pro but as it is still under warranty would prefer to keep it as is.

Chancer Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 I know there are third party apps I can use - but I would prefer to enable in Windows if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may invalidate the warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also this method is very strong against Windows Update. RDP Wrapper Library (works with Windows 8.1 Basic)Latest RDP Wrapper for v1.5 :-https://github.com/binarymaster/rdpwrap/releases/download/v1.5/RDPWrap-v1.5.zipNot tested.

debebee Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Just use TEAMVIEWER RDP is only available in the W8.1 PRO version, it is crippled in the CORE version.Using HACKS might break your windows system files and invalidate the warranty.Also it opens your device to a lot of security holes.
