However, it's worth noting that if you require mirroring Windows PC to iPad across different networks, RD Client may not be the most suitable option for you.

Step 1.  On Windows 10 and 11 computers,  enable the Remote Desktop.

Note: If your Windows 10 or 11 is Home Edition, you can't enable Remote Desktop as it is only available on Windows advanced editions like Windows 10 or 11 Professional.

Step 9. After successfully connecting your iPad to Windows 10, there will be a menu on the middle top of the screen. You can tap the middle button to open a few Remote Desktop options.
