Answer

There are 3 types of problems with remote desktop:

1. Licensing - this probably doesn't apply to your computer.


2. Network (firewall and so on) - this probably also doesn't.


3. 
   

   Local security: you have to:

   
   
   
   
   • allow RDP connections at all
   
   
   • allow RDP connections from older version of RDP client (if you need that)
   
   
   • add user you want to log in to list of allowed users
   
   
   
   

How to do it:

• right click on Computer icon, choose Properties


• in System window click Remote setting on left bar


• in System properties/Remote tab click Choose users button


• ensure that your chosen user is added there

(exact names can differ as I translated them from polish version of Windows)
