Okay, the software for the remote desktop... no clue... just searched it on
youtube and it gave me 3-4 commands to run, to install whatever, and the
remote desktop app to login came with windows 10.

I wasn't really wanting to play "chatroulette" with my desktop, so I'll just
leave the monitor and keyboard attached to the box.

Thanx
