Windows comes with a remote desktop client that is able to access the entire Windows Desktop experience remotely.

You will need to allow port forwarding in your router when connecting to your Computer from outside of your network. By default, the remote desktop port is 3389 for windows environment which must be forwarded to the Computer to which you wish to connect. Now you will be able to connect from any network from globe using the public IP address of your network in Remote Desktop Communication.
Steps to change default RDP port as you like:
- Go to Search > Type regedit in the Search box and run as Administrator. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
- Navigate to the Registry Subkey.
- Click Edit > Choose Modify, then select Decimal.
- Type in the new port number from 1001 to 254535, then press OK.
