Windows user here, please don’t shoot me

I’m in need of a remote desktop solution that works without a monitor. I’ve tried AnyDesk, TeamViewer, and TightVNC.

All of the stuff I have need of using has a GUI client or dedicated software, but I’m about to be away from home for a couple weeks and I’m worried it might shit out on me for one reason or another and need some manual input (any one who has ever used a computer knows that this happens sometimes)

I have OpenVPN on my router and that’s how I’m accessing everything, so a local solution will work, and it would be nice, but not necessary, if it’s got an Android client as well

I have Windows 10 Home so I can’t use remote desktop that’s built into windows without installing a cracked pro version of window.

    For anyone wondering how one would go about upgrading your home install to pro, there’s MAS. It’s a simple script that will activate the windows version of your choosing, it can activate msoffice too.

      That’s the other option, yeah. If you already have a valid OEM key tied to your hardware though I can understand people not wanting to fuck with it.

        Yeah ofc, if you already have a valid key doing everything you need you ofc have no need of it. If you would like BitLocker and remote desktop protocol (build in) like I do, you need a “pro” license.

        Stealing from a big company like microsoft is still ethically justified imo.
