Now, I'm sure there really IS such a way, but the internet is not my friend in helping me find it. Since there are some operations that cannot be performed via RDP - attaching to a VPN being one of them - it would be nice if I could just leave the PC logged in and operate it via Remote Desktop at the same time. This works reasonable well except that the Remote Desktop Service on the PC requires that I can only be logged in either via the Remote Desktop app OR the PC itself. I don't want to keep changing physical keyboards, so despite the fact that the two physical machines are next to eachother beneath my desk, I use remote desktop to view and operate the PC while working on the Mac. While the old Remote Desktop 8 (which is compatible with older macOS versions) is no longer available on the Mac App Store or direct from Microsoft, you can still download it direct from macsx 100% malware-free - just check out this article.I have a specific usage case - I work in a multiplatform environment in which I work on the Mac and on the PC. There’s no need to bother upgrading macOS when all you want to do is RDP to another computer. No need to risk getting viruses from sketchy third party websites! Is your macOS version too old to run Remote Desktop 10? This includes Remote Desktop 10 for Mac, which can be downloaded using this official Microsoft link. There’s a useful website macadmins.software which lists the direct download links for many of these apps. Microsoft does have direct download links for their App Store distributed software, however they appear to be hidden for some reason or another. A quick Google search of “Remote Desktop for Mac” won’t give you an official Microsoft direct download for Remote Desktop for Mac, so you might conclude the only way to get it is via the App Store. And while this may be true in many cases, using the App Store can be a real pain when trying to quickly install an app for someone else who probably doesn’t know their Apple ID credentials. The Mac App Store is supposed to make installing apps easier and more convenient.
