There are a lot of third party remote control pieces software around such as the popular freeware tools VNC, and TeamViewer, but there are times when the built-in Remote Desktop Connection feature in Windows 7 is the most useful since it's already present in Windows and you don't need to install any third party software. Aug 08, 2014 Microsoft Remote Desktop Microsoft Remote Desktop is Microsoft's official remote desktop app for iPad. It's been built from the ground up using the remote desktop protocol (RDP) and RemoteFX to ensure that Windows users have access to all gestures and functions that Windows offers. The iPad Pro is a line of iPad tablet computers designed, developed, and marketed by Apple Inc. And first available in November 2015. They run the iOS and iPadOS mobile operating systems. The current generation is available in two screen sizes, 11-inch (28 cm) and 12.9-inch (33 cm), 12 each with four options for internal NVMe storage.
Microsoft Remote Desktop is a service that allows users to access and use their computer through another device, such as an iPhone or iPad. The iOS app, which had been abandoned for over a year, was updated this week with several new features, including support for recently released Apple devices and also Dark Mode compatibility on iOS 13.
After pairing the computer with another device using the IP address, users can access the Windows Desktop and the entire file system with support for multi-touch controls and gestures, audio, microphone, and even cameras. It is compatible with any PC running Windows Professional, Enterprise or Server.
For those who had doubts about the app remaining available, Microsoft has assured users that it will maintain support for Remote Desktop Client on iOS. The 10.0.0 version of the app brings more than ten new features and changes.

Remote Desktop From Ipad
Ever since the debut of the iPad Pro, Apple has been talking about how its tablet could pretty much replace the long-standing definition of what computers are. But while countless of iPad Pro owners have been able to indeed do work or live completely off an iPad Pro, it's just a fact that not all the 'pro' software one needs is available on iOS. That argument might soon be moot, however, and you might soon be able to do everything on an iPad. Unfortunately, it will be Microsoft who will have the last laugh thanks to its Window Virtual Desktop.
The software isn't exactly new. Launched in preview last year, Windows Virtual Desktop is practically just a multi-user Windows 10 desktop running remotely on Microsoft's Azure cloud.
What's new, however, is mouse support on iOS as shown by MS Remote Desktop Service Group Manager Scott Manchester. That is a pretty big thing considering how mouse-unfriendly iOS is, even when running remote desktops like this.

Not all Bluetooth mice would be supported though. The demo makes use of the Swiftpoint GT which was made exactly with that scenario in mind. In fact, the mouse already works that way with the likes of Teamviewer, VMware, Splashtop, and Parallels just to name a few. So, in a way, that's not so special either. More mice are expected to be supported later on.
Remote Desktop On Ipad Pro
It does mean, though, that an iPad can now really become the only device you need to take with you. Provided you're able to connect to the Windows Virtual Desktop from anywhere, of course. Probably not the use case Apple had in mind.
