 There are many terminals that have a low specifications for Chromebook.In addition, there are many tasks that are not suitable for the "Chrome OS".I want to do that on a high -spec desktop PC, but it is troublesome to go to a room with a PC while relaxing in a living room or bed.In such a case, it is convenient to set up so that it can be remotely controlled on Chromebook in advance.Heavy processing such as conversion of video files and rendering of graphics can be done simply by tapping with fingertips while rumbling.

 If readers are using Windows 10 Pro and are already using "Remote Desktop Connection" (RDP), it's not difficult.You can download the Android client app from the Google Play store and run it on Chromebook.

 Current latest version (10).0.10.1129) is supported by the client side IME, for example, a Chromebook can be converted with the IME on the "Chrome OS" side.In RDP, if you use a keyboard in the array of English, there have been problems that you will not be able to enter a specific character due to the discrepancy of the key sequence, but the support of the client side IME will alleviate such problems.

 If RDP such as Windows 10 Home is not available, another method will be taken.Solutions can be used by "TeamViewer" or "AnyDesk", but it would be safest to use the "Chrome Remote Desktop" provided by Google.
