Chromebook Microsoft Remote Desktop App For Windows 10
Iv used ms rdp on an android phone before now in an extreme emergency. Wasquite difficult without using aphysical keyboard and mouse but managed to do what I needed to do. I wouldn’t want to use it for regular support but that moment when you desperately need to get on it was a life saver.
Chromebooks are like laptops so can’t see why you would have many issues. If your getting a cheap cheerful used model, check compatibility requirements within the play store before committing to the hardware as ms rdp in the apple store has minimum os requirements.
