Running Windows Through Networked Screen?

kicks66 · 29 Sep 2011 at 21:19

Ive currently got a PC at home, but I dont have a cable to connect it to any screens I have here (DVI output and only vga screen).

I want to set up windows 7 on it and test some things before I take it away with me to make sure everythings working. Is it possible to run the pcs display through the network onto another pc?

Once Windows is installed you can use remote desktop connection to connect to it.

Remember you needed to be running a Professional Edition to be able to connect another Windows PC to it.

You can also you teamviewer which is some free (for non comercial use) remote desktop software. I use it all the time to control my HPTC. The also have a free android and iPhone app so you can control the PC out and about.
