Does Remote Desktop into the Surface work well?

When I'm home, I often just remote desktop into my laptop.

I'm wondering if remoting into ARM Windows is as good?


Yes everything in user space works as expected. Note that NT has supported non-x86 processors since 1992.

According to some accounts, the name NT even was a reference to the Intel i860, which was the original target processor.

I have a similar Windows Arm64 machine (Lenovo "IdeaPad 5 Slim"), RDP into it works OK.

There is one issue I ran into that I haven't on my (self-built) Windows desktops: when Windows Hello (fingerprint lock) is enabled, and neither machine is on a Windows domain, the RDP client will just refuse to authenticate.

I had to use a trick to "cache" the password on the "server" end first, see https://superuser.com/questions/1715525/how-to-login-windows...
