But if on the other hand the host has 3 displays physically attached to it but you only have 1 display on the client you're connecting from, then you can only use one display in the Remote Desktop session. So for example, if the host only has 1 display physically connected to it, but you have 3 on the system you're connecting from, you can use all 3 displays with the host through Remote Desktop. the display(s) physically attached to it) just shows a lock screen, unlike other screen sharing solutions where remote and local users share a common view. When using Remote Desktop, it absolutely does not matter how many displays are physically attached to the host system, since after all you're not sitting in front of that system, and when you use Remote Desktop, the local "console" of the host (i.e. For clarity with what comes up, I'll establish that the PC you're connecting FROM is the "client" and the PC you are remoting TO is the "host". Thank I can't speak to GoToMyPC, but Windows Remote Desktop definitely supports multiple displays.


Is what I'm trying to accomplish possible when connecting remotely? Recommendations will be appreciated. When I go into the display settings it does not detect a second monitor, nor will it allow me to "Extend" the displays in the Multiple Display settings. Is that even possible? To try to remedy this I got an HDMI splitter, ran HDMI cables from both monitors to the splitter, then from the splitter to the Inspiron's HDMI port, but ended up with two identical monitor displays. When my wife or I log in remotely to our respective office workstations, located elsewhere, using Windows' Remote Desktop Connection or using GoToMyPC we are unable to drag objects (web pages, spreadsheets, documents, etc.) on the remotely-connected workstation's screen from our primary monitor to our second monitor. My original set-up had an HDMI cable running from one monitor and a VGA cable running from the other monitor. I have an Inspiron 3671 desktop, running Windows 10, with two P2219H monitors in my home.
