I have newly installed windows 8.1 OS desktop PC.

In my PC, I can't see the "Remote Desktop" option in "Remote Tab" in the System properties window.

enter image description here

So I cannot connect to remotely my machine from other machine using mstsc command.

I have tried the below steps:

  1. disable fire walls.
  2. Selected "Allow Remote assistance connection to this computer option in system properties window.

Please help. Thanks in advance.

well this is what I do. I go to search I type 'remote' and I get the Remote Desktop Connection window. This has not been changed on windows 8.1. http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Remote-Desktop-on-Windows-8. check this link. if this doesn't work try to check if remote desktop has been turned on from 'Windows Features'
