  Hi,

  It will not work if you want to establish a Remote Desktop Connection to Windows 7 Home Premium.

  In this article, please note:

  “You can't use Remote Desktop Connection to connect to computers running Windows 7 Starter, Windows 7 Home Basic, or Windows 7 Home Premium.”
  
  Thanks.

  Give TightVNC a try. VNC is what is used by most, if not all remote support tools, like CrossLoop, RDC, GoToMyPC, etc. TightVNC is a simple, easy to setup and use VNC server and client. You run the server on the target [Home Premioum] machine and client on the control [7 Ultimate] machine.

  Hi DMaria,

  Even Windows 7 Home Premium is not able to be connected with Remote Desktop Connection; you can still run “mstsc” [without quotations] in Windows 7 Home Premium to run the Remote Desktop Connection client and establish the RDP connectionto another computer which can accept the RDP connection.
