How you can get remote access to your home PC if you use it for business or making extra income

If you use your home PC to run a business or make extra income then sometimes you may need access to the device while you’re away. This could be while on holiday or perhaps just on a day trip and suddenly you could do with being able to get onto your computer back at home. Let’s look at one way that you can do that.

There are lots of reasons you may need to gain remote access. It could be because you forgot to do something. Or perhaps you want to transfer some files from another device you’re using away from the home office. Or it could even be for security reasons in an emergency. It’s also useful if your company grows and teams of people need access to one device.

Whatever the reasons there are services that allow you to do it. This post is an article taking a look at the Remote Access service provided by a company called RemotePC.
