Before you begin
A quick compatibility check
Supported: Windows 10 version 22H2, supported Windows 10 LTSC editions, and Windows 11. Windows 7 and 8.1 cannot use the current Tailscale client.
Windows Home can connect, but it cannot be controlled. The PC you want to reach needs a supported Windows Pro, Enterprise, or Education edition because Microsoft does not include the Remote Desktop host in Home.

Private by design
Your desktop does not pass through this website.
Tailscale provides end-to-end encryption between your computers; when a direct path is unavailable, it may use an encrypted relay. Microsoft Remote Desktop carries the screen, keyboard, microphone, sound, and clipboard over that private connection—not through this website. Remote PC for Windows does not collect your Windows password.
- ✓No public Remote Desktop port
- ✓No account or password database on this site
- ✓No reusable Tailscale key inside the download
Common questions
Good to know before the first connection
Do I need to install Tailscale myself?
No dependency hunting is required. The one-file setup checks for Tailscale and downloads its current official Windows installer when needed. You still need internet access, and you must sign in once on each PC. Tailscale then remains running quietly in the background.
Will it work after a restart?
Yes, after the guided setup enables unattended mode. The PC normally becomes available shortly after Windows and the internet connection start. It cannot connect while shut down or asleep.
Can the controlled PC use Windows Home?
No. The controlled PC needs a supported Windows 10 or Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise, or Education edition. A Windows Home PC may still be the computer you use to connect.
Does it support Windows 7, 10, and 11?
It supports Windows 10 version 22H2, supported Windows 10 LTSC editions, and Windows 11. Windows 7 and 8.1 are not supported because Tailscale’s current Windows client requires Windows 10 or later. Windows 10 22H2 should use Microsoft ESU or a supported LTSC channel.
Can I control three or more PCs?
Yes. Install the same package on each PC and join the same Tailscale network. The app automatically lists every permitted Windows PC; click the Connect button for the one you want.
Do I need a static IP or router settings?
No. The app finds your other PC through Tailscale, even if its local or internet address changes. You do not open port 3389 to the public internet.
Can I use my microphone and copy and paste?
Yes. Microphone input, remote sound, and clipboard sharing are requested automatically for every connection. A company policy or a particular remote application can still block microphone access.
What password should I enter?
Use the Windows account password for the other PC—not its Windows Hello PIN. Windows handles any saved credential; Remote PC for Windows does not store it.
Can someone use the other PC locally at the same time?
Usually not. Standard Windows Remote Desktop can lock the local screen or replace an existing session. It is designed for remote access, not simultaneous collaborative screen sharing.
What if the app says Offline?
Make sure the other PC is awake, online, and connected to Tailscale. The launcher checks again automatically, or you can press F5 to check immediately.
Will my existing Tailscale devices still work?
Yes. Setup does not remove devices, sign out an existing account, or change your tailnet access rules. Every permitted Windows PC appears automatically, and other allowed computers can still connect with valid Windows credentials.
