You can use the Remote Desktop client for Mac to work with Windows apps, resources, and desktops from
your Mac computer.
 
After activation of a Windows VPS server, it takes 15 to 40 minutes to load the Operating System for the
first time then you can connect to the VPS server with Windows Remote Desktop Connection ( On Apple
computers including tablets, smartphones, you can get the Microsoft Remote Desktop from the App store
– In Linux, you can use Remmina Remote Desktop Client or similar – Android you can use RD client ).
 
Follow these steps to connect with Remote desktop through Mac (this guide is for Mac users however
other Operating System or devices are very similar):
 
1. Check the client area or registered email for login details.
 
2. If you have the Microsoft Remote Desktop app on your Mac device, skip this.
