Quick feedback as to what was discovered with Michael this morning regarding RDP and Remmina. We took a three step approach to the situation:

        Make Windows to Windows work
        Make linux Remmina to Windows work
        Add a VPN link

The instructions from M$ on how to address the Windows RDP target are a bit confusing. They try to introduce some crazy naming stuff into the equation. Just connect to the IP address and enter the user name as it is on the local login screen. At least today, domain didn't matter; we left it blank.

The other less than intuitive item was "quick connect" in Remmina; as in it doesn't work. Bug reports exist and so on. Get to the proper configuration screen and set up a named connection and it works.

I was caught a bit flat-footed by the fact that Remmina has had upgrades since Ubuntu 16.04. That took some time to navigate.

Hope that expands our knowledge base.

I've used Remmina to connect from my Debian based machines to my Windows machines at home.  However, the Win10 machines I have are Windows 10 Pro, and I do not believe you can use RDP to connect to a machine running Windows 10 Home.  If you are able to go into the Windows 10 pro machine and get into the Control Panel, then allow remote access from within and disable NLA, you should then be able to remote into the Windows 10 pro machine using its IP address if they are both on the same LAN.  Note: you will need to use a user account that has remote access. You can set this up in Computer Management, select Users & Groups, then Qu
add the account you want to use in the "Remote Desktop Users" group.

I hope that helps.  If it's the case that I misunderstood your question, or if I've got the right direction but need to clarify something, feel free to let me know and I'll be happy to help if I can.

Thanks,
Adam H.

    I better go ahead and ask if anyone has used Remmina or FreeRDP or
    other program to remote connect from Linux / Ubuntu (in this case
    Kubuntu) to a Win10pc.

    I'm testing trying to get this to work from my Ubuntu laptop (on
    location via LAN) first before going to remote site.

    OR- can / should I virtualize said Win10pc to run it on Linux and
    remote connect Linux to Linux?

    I'd pay for someone to do it if you can.  It would keep me from
    having to set up Windows machine, which is the last thing I want to do.
    Thanks
