Just open the windows search box (found on the taskbar, near the start menu, if not using the metro interface) and type remote desktop. The app will apear right on top of the list and you will be able to activate it. Good luck!

I really don't know, I never used the microsoft remote desktop.
May I ask why aren't you using a much better and free program (for home use, at least), to remote access a windows computer from an android or other windows device, like TeamViewer?

Android download | TeamViewer

Download the latest version of TeamViewer for Android. Control and access your devices remotely.

Windows download | TeamViewer

Download the latest version of TeamViewer for Windows. Control and access your devices remotely.

Yes, that’s RDP. The RDP app in windows store is something that’s just more graphical.

If you’re using RDP normally make sure to secure it properly, RDP is can be pretty insecure unless you take precautions. EG, not using it over internet unless you’ve got a tunnel set up.

Remote Desktop is used to control other's PC and the remote PC will be locked. But if you use Remote Assistance, the one in front of the remote PC can see what's happening on his or her PC. This post is about the conparison between thwm. Hope it can help you. Remote Assistance VS Remote Desktop: Which One Should I Choose?
