  1. Configure your iOS device
  2. Configure your Windows 10 PC
  3. Create a Remote Desktop connection on your iOS device and connect
Let us go through all one by one.

1. Configure your iOS device

To get started with Remote Desktop on your iOS device, follow the below steps,
  1. Go to iTunes, download the Remote Desktop client and install
  2. You will be prompted to add a Remote Desktop or a Remote resource.
Here, you need to make sure that you have configured your Windows 10 PC rightly for the Desktop linking to be successful. The next section details the same on how you can configure your Windows 10 PC for remote access via your iOS device.

2. Configure your Windows 10 PC

Your Windows 10 PC should be configured correctly so that you can successfully add your desktop on your iOS device.
Before you try and connect your Windows PC to an iOS device, the PC must be powered on, and it must have a network connection. Remote desktop must be enabled, you must have network access to the remote computer (this may be via the Internet), and you must have permission to connect.
For permission to connect, you must be in the list of users. Therefore, always check the name of the computer you are connecting to and to ensure that a remote desktop connection is allowed through its firewall.
Enabling Remote Desktop for iOS
The simplest way to allow access to your PC from a remote device is to use the Remote Desktop options under Settings. Since this functionality was added to the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (1709), a separate downloadable app is also available, providing similar functionality to earlier versions of Windows.
Just follow the following steps,
1. On the device, you want to connect to, select Start and then click the Settings icon on the left.
2. Select the System group followed by the Remote Desktop
3. Use the slider to enable Remote Desktop.
4. It is also recommended to keep the PC awake and discoverable to facilitate connections. Click Show settings to enable.
5. As needed, add users who can connect remotely by clicking Select users that can remotely access this PC.
5a. Members of the Administrators group automatically have access.
In case you have an earlier version of Windows 10 or Windows 8/Windows 7, then download and run the Microsoft Remote Desktop Assistant. This assistant updates your system settings to enable remote access, ensuring that your computer is awake for connections, and checks that your firewall allows Remote Desktop connections.
