Basically, that’s it! You can now gain access remotely to your Windows 10 anywhere. Let’s say, you set up the Google Chrome Remote Desktop from your Windows 10 in your home. Then you go to your office and forgot to get or do something from your machine at home. You can simply install your Chrome remote desktop app in the office with the same Google account. Then you will see your pre-setup computer under My Computers. From there, you can access your computer at home.
