@socphoenix @On You have other possibilities with Windows targets for remote control. You could set up the Windows built-in OpenSSH or another SSH server on the target, use Kitty SSH client, and tunnel RDP through SSH tunnel. Use FreeTube or NewPipe to find tutorial clips for that. If only classic SSH on the command line is possible, I’d prefer PowerShell remoting, if your client is on Windows too.
You wouldn’t usually bother to implement RDP services with Linux targets, if not forced to by policies.
In summary, Microsoft RDP can be easiest, because built-in. Can be obligatory. There are prequisites: access to the target’s domain (VPN, SSH, Citrix, …), entitled user credentials, client software, knowledge of target’s internal address / hostname.

@socphoenix @On If nothing with RDP necessary or possible: https://rustdesk.com/ is the easiest and recommended, it’s much like Teamviewer but free. (Free as in FLOSS, and free of charge as well.) It works with most operating system combinations. Technically, it has nothing to do with the concurrent protocols / standards Microsoft RDP, Teamviewer, SSH, …
The rdp client (at least in 10/11, I haven’t tried others) tells me I need at least pro instead of home to use it, thus my comment about upgrading windows. Thank you for the extra clarification for those that can use it though!
RDPWrap used to be able to run a patched version of RDP for Windows Home to enable incoming RDP but it isn’t maintained anymore. You didn’t need to upgrade to Pro.
