步骤 3(Step 3)。配置远程桌面连接(Remote Desktop connection)
要使用Microsoft Remote Desktop 10从Mac连接到Windows 10 PC，您首先需要将该 PC 添加到应用程序。单击中间的Add PC按钮，或按顶部的+ (plus sign)按钮，然后单击Add PC。
或者，您也可以访问应用程序的连接(Connections)菜单并单击添加电脑(Add PC)。
弹出添加 PC(Add PC)窗口。使用PC 名称(PC name)字段插入要连接的Windows 10计算机的(Windows 10)“主机名或 IP 地址” 。("Host name or IP address")要查找Windows 10计算机的IP 地址(IP address)，请查看在Windows（所有版本）中查找IP 地址的 8 种方法。(IP address)如果您想使用计算机名称进行连接，请阅读计算机名称(computer name)是什么以及如何在Windows中查看？。
单击用户帐户(User account)字段以打开下拉菜单。使用默认选项(default option)“需要时询问("Ask when required)” ，您需要在每次连接到该 PC 时输入您的用户名(Username)和密码。(Password)如果您打算经常使用相同的用户帐户(user account)远程连接到该 Windows 10 计算机，请单击“添加用户帐户("Add User Account)”。
在“添加用户帐户”("Add a User Account")弹出窗口中，插入 Windows 10 帐户的用户(Username)名和密码(Password)。按添加(Add)保存您的凭据，避免每次远程连接到Windows 10时都必须插入它们。
注意：(NOTE:)如果您添加更多用户帐户(User Accounts)并需要区分它们，您也可以选择友好名称。(Friendly name)
您插入的用户帐户(User Account)已保存，您可以看到它显示在相应的字段中。
添加 PC(Add PC)窗格的下半部分有四个选项卡，其中包含用于远程连接的不同设置。窗格在常规(General)选项卡中打开，您可以在其中修改以下设置：
- 友好名称(Friendly name)- 键入 Windows 10 远程桌面连接(desktop connection)的名称，以在Microsoft 远程桌面(Microsoft Remote Desktop)中使用，而不是PC 名称或 IP(PC name or IP)。如果您添加更多设备，则可以更轻松地区分它们。
- 组(Group)- 单击此字段打开一个下拉菜单，让您添加组(Add Group)，您可以输入新组的名称。如果您在Microsoft 远程桌面(Microsoft Remote Desktop)应用程序中添加大量设备，则可以使用此选项创建不同的计算机组以便于排序。
- 网关- 单击此字段以打开允许您(Gateway)添加网关(Add Gateway)的下拉菜单。键入网关名称(Gateway name)和用户帐户(User Account)。此选项允许您通过远程桌面网关(Remote Desktop Gateway)进行连接（用于允许使用HTTPS从公司网络外部的计算机进行安全连接）。如果您使用网关，您也可以选择勾选下方(box underneath)的复选框并启用相关设置“绕过本地地址("Bypass for local addresses)”。
- 断开连接(Reconnect if the connection is dropped)时重新连接- 选中此框可在远程桌面(Remote Desktop)连接中断时自动连接。
- 连接到管理会话(Connect to an admin session)- 如果要确保始终可以连接到终端服务器，请选中此框。大多数用户不需要此选项。
- 交换鼠标按钮(Swap mouse buttons)- 选中此框可反转鼠标按钮(mouse button)功能。如果远程Windows 10(Windows 10) PC 配置为左手使用，此选项很有用。
显示(Display)选项卡中的选项很容易弄清楚：
- 分辨率(Resolution)- 单击该字段以打开下拉菜单。除了“此显示器的默认设置("Default for this display)”之外(")，还有许多其他选项可供选择，以优化远程连接的分辨率。如果滚动到底部，您甚至可以“添加自定义分辨率("Add Custom Resolution)”。
- 使用所有显示器(Use all monitors)- 选中该框以配置远程桌面(Remote Desktop)连接以使用对多个显示器的支持。
- 全屏启动会话(Start session in full screen)- 默认情况下选中此框。在会话开始时，Microsoft 远程桌面(Microsoft Remote Desktop)使用Mac的整个屏幕在Windows 10中显示屏幕。
- 使会话适应窗口(Fit session to window)- 如果您希望调整会话内容(session content)的大小以适应窗口，请选中该框。当远程设备的分辨率与本地窗口的大小不同时，此设置很重要。
- 颜色质量(Color quality)- 单击该字段以自定义连接的颜色质量(color quality)。您可以在高（32 位）(High (32 bit))和中（16 位）(Medium (16 bit))之间进行选择。
- 优化 Retina 显示器(Optimize for Retina displays)- 如果您有Retina 显示器(Retina display)并且想要优化远程连接的分辨率，请选中此框。请记住，启用此功能会自动将分辨率反转为“此显示的默认值”("Default for this display")选项并选中“使会话适合窗口”("Fit session to window")框。当您的连接针对Retina(Retina)显示器进行优化时，这两个选项显示为灰色且无法修改。
- 在调整大小时更新会话分辨率(Update the session resolution on resize)- 如果您希望在调整会话窗口大小时更新分辨率，请选中此框。这与“此显示的默认设置”("Default for this display")设置和“使会话适合窗口”("Fit session to window")框的前一个选项具有相同的效果。
在“设备和音频”(Devices & Audio)选项卡中，选中复选框以选择要在远程会话中使用的相应设备。单击“播放声音”(Play Sound)字段会显示一个包含三个选项的下拉菜单：从不(Never)、默认的“在这台计算机("On this computer)上”和“在远程 PC("On the remote PC)上” 。
最后一个选项卡称为文件夹(Folders)，它允许您将文件和文件夹从Mac共享到远程Windows 10 PC。选中重定向文件夹(Redirect folders)框，然后按底部的+ (plus sign)按钮以浏览Mac以查找要共享的文件和文件夹并打开它们。启动会话后，可以在远程Windows 10 PC 上找到共享项目。要找到它们，请打开文件资源管理器(File Explorer)，访问这台电脑(This PC)，您可以在“重定向的驱动器和文件夹”("Redirected drives and folders")部分看到它们。
完成对四个不同选项卡中的各种设置的修改后，单击屏幕右下角的添加按钮。(Add)
您的连接显示在Microsoft 远程桌面(Microsoft Remote Desktop)应用程序中。将鼠标悬停(Hover)在它上面以显示右上角的两个按钮。如果要编辑此连接的配置，请单击(Click)笔，如果不再需要连接，请按垃圾桶图标以清除连接。
第 4 步(Step 4)。在Mac上使用Microsoft 远程桌面(Microsoft Remote Desktop)连接到Windows 10 PC

要启动远程会话(remote session)，请双击连接或选择它并按键盘上的Enter 。
或者，您也可以选择连接，访问Microsoft 远程桌面的(Microsoft Remote Desktop's) 连接(Connections)菜单，然后按连接(Connect)。
如果您在配置过程(configuration process)中没有“添加用户帐户”("Add a User Account") ，则必须现在插入一个。输入您的 Windows 10用户(Username)名和密码(Password)，就像您坐在主机(host computer)前一样。然后，单击继续(Continue)。
根据您的网络设置，您可能会看到以下提示。单击(Click) 继续(Continue)以完成连接。
您的远程桌面(Remote Desktop)会话开始，远程Windows 10 PC 的屏幕显示在新的Microsoft 远程桌面(Microsoft Remote Desktop)窗口中。如果您将会话配置为全屏启动，则窗口会展开。将光标悬停在窗口的顶部边缘以显示菜单栏(menu bar)以及用于关闭或最小化左上角窗口的常用选项。
就这些！您现在可以享受远程桌面(Remote Desktop)会话了。
为什么需要从Mac远程(Mac)访问 Windows 10(access Windows 10)？
我在Digital Citize n 的工作要求我使用装有Windows 10的设备，但我更喜欢我的Mac(Mac better)。由于我天生懒惰，我有时会使用Microsoft Remote Desktop从我心爱的Mac上检查(Mac)Windows 10中的某些细节。我们假设我们的大多数读者也来到这里尝试远程连接到他们的Windows 10工作 PC。你也是这样吗？在下面的评论中告诉我们。
How to remote access Windows 10 from Mac
To remote access Windowѕ 10 from Mac, you can use the Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 app. With it, computers running Windows 10 Professional or Enterprise can be controlled remotely through the Remote Desktop protocol. This allows a remote user using macOS to log in to the Windows 10 computer and control it as if he or she were sitting right in front of it. This tutorial illustrates the steps you need to take in order to connect via Remote Desktop from a Mac to Windows 10, using Microsoft Remote Desktop 10:
Step 1. Enable Remote Desktop on your Windows 10 device
Windows 10 machines need Remote Desktop enabled to accept connections from other Windows computers, as well as macOS computers running the Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 app for Mac. If you're not sure how to turn on and configure the feature, read our tutorial on How to enable Remote Desktop in Windows 10 (or Windows 7).
To learn more about Remote Desktop and how it works, check out What Are Remote Desktop Connections?.
Step 2. Access the Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 app on your Mac
The Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 app is free and you can download it on your Mac from the App Store.
Once the download is complete, Open the app from the Apple Store. You can also press F4 on your keyboard to open the Applications folder, find the Microsoft Remote Desktop app, and click on it.
When you first open the app, you are prompted to share "your usage and performance information with Microsoft." Click Yes or Not now, depending on what you want.
You also need to grant the app access to your Mac's microphone and camera. Click Continue.
The app opens and you can start using it to connect from your Mac to a Windows 10 PC.
NOTE: In order to connect remotely to your computer from work, you might first need to connect through VPN to your company's network.
Step 3. Configure your Remote Desktop connection
To use Microsoft Remote Desktop 10 to connect from your Mac to a Windows 10 PC, you first need to add that PC to the app. Click the Add PC button in the middle, or press on the + (plus sign) button on top and click on Add PC.
Alternatively, you can also access the app's Connections menu and click on Add PC.
The Add PC window pops up. Use the PC name field to insert the "Host name or IP address" of the Windows 10 computer you want to connect to. To find out the IP address of your Windows 10 computer, check out 8 ways to find your IP address in Windows (all versions). If you want to connect using the computer's name, read What is the computer name and how to view it in Windows?.
Click the User account field to open a dropdown menu. With the default option, "Ask when required," you need to insert your Username and Password each time you connect to that PC. If you plan to use the same user account to connect remotely to that Windows 10 computer often, click on "Add User Account."
In the "Add a User Account" pop-up, insert the Username and Password for the Windows 10 account. Press Add to save your credentials and avoid having to insert them every time you remotely connect to Windows 10.
NOTE: You can also choose a Friendly name, if you add more User Accounts and need to differentiate between them.
The User Account you inserted is saved, and you can see it displayed in the corresponding field.
The lower part of the Add PC pane has four tabs with different settings for your remote connection. The pane opens in the General tab, where you can modify the following settings:
- Friendly name - Type a name for your Windows 10 remote desktop connection, to be used inside Microsoft Remote Desktop instead of the PC name or IP. If you add more devices, this can make it easier to differentiate between them.
- Group - Click this field to open a drop-down menu that lets you Add Group, and you can enter the name of a new group. If you add a lot of devices in the Microsoft Remote Desktop app, you can use this option to create different groups of computers for easy sorting.
- Gateway - Click this field to open a drop-down menu that lets you Add Gateway. Type a Gateway name and a User Account. This option allows you to connect through a Remote Desktop Gateway (used to allow secure connections using HTTPS from computers outside your corporate network). If you use a gateway, you can also choose to check the box underneath and enable the related setting "Bypass for local addresses."
- Reconnect if the connection is dropped - Check this box to connect automatically when your Remote Desktop connection is interrupted.
- Connect to an admin session - Check this box if you want to make sure you can always connect to a terminal server. Most users shouldn't need this option.
- Swap mouse buttons - Check this box to invert the mouse button functions. This option is useful if the remote Windows 10 PC is configured for left-handed use.
The options in the Display tab are pretty easy to figure out:
- Resolution - Click the field to open a dropdown menu. On top of "Default for this display," there are many other options to choose from to optimize the resolution of your remote connection. If you scroll to the bottom, you can even "Add Custom Resolution."
- Use all monitors - Check the box to configure the Remote Desktop connection to use support for multiple monitors.
- Start session in full screen - This box is checked by default. At the beginning of your session, Microsoft Remote Desktop uses your Mac's entire screen to display the screen in Windows 10.
- Fit session to window - Check the box if you want the session content resized to fit inside the window. This setting is important when the resolution of the remote device differs from the size of the local window.
- Color quality - Click the field to customize the color quality of your connection. You can choose between High (32 bit) and Medium (16 bit).
- Optimize for Retina displays - Check this box if you have a Retina display and you want to optimize the resolution of your remote connection. Keep in mind that enabling this automatically reverses the resolution to the "Default for this display" option and checks the "Fit session to window" box. These two options are greyed out and can not be modified while your connection is optimized for Retina displays.
- Update the session resolution on resize - Check this box if you want the resolution to be updated when you resize the session's window. This has the same effect as the previous option on the "Default for this display" setting and the "Fit session to window" box.
In the Devices & Audio tab, check the boxes to choose the corresponding devices that are to be used in the remote session. Clicking the Play Sound field reveals a drop-down menu with three options: Never, the default "On this computer," and "On the remote PC."
The last tab is called Folders and it allows you to share files and folders from your Mac to your remote Windows 10 PC. Check the Redirect folders box and press the + (plus sign) button at the bottom to browse your Mac for the files and folders you want to share and open them. Once you start the session, the shared items can be found on the remote Windows 10 PC. To find them, open File Explorer, access This PC, and you can see them in the "Redirected drives and folders" section.
When you are done tinkering with the various settings from the four different tabs, click the Add button in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Your connection is displayed in the Microsoft Remote Desktop app. Hover over it to reveal two buttons in the upper-right corner. Click on the pen if you want to edit the configuration for this connection, or press on the trash can icon to erase the connection if you no longer need it.
Step 4. Use Microsoft Remote Desktop on your Mac to connect to a Windows 10 PC
After completing the previous step, where you added and configured a new connection in the Microsoft Remote Desktop app, you can use it to access the Windows 10 device from your Mac.
To start your remote session, double click on the connection or select it and press Enter on your keyboard.
Alternatively, you can also select the connection, access Microsoft Remote Desktop's Connections menu, and press Connect.
If you did not "Add a User Account" during the configuration process, you have to insert one now. Enter your Windows 10 Username and Password just like you would if you were sitting in front of the host computer. Then, click Continue.
Depending on your network settings, you might see the prompt below. Click Continue to finalize the connection.
Your Remote Desktop session starts, and the screen of the remote Windows 10 PC is shown in a new Microsoft Remote Desktop window. If you configured your session to start in full screen, the window is expanded. Hover your cursor over the top edge of the window to reveal the menu bar and the usual options for closing or minimizing the window in the upper-left corner.
That is all! You can now enjoy your Remote Desktop session.
