Leave "User Account" blank if you are using an administrator account on your work computer. Or specify a username and password for a different account, if necessary. For this example, let's fill in the user settings.

In the "Friendly name" column, enter the name of the connection (for example, "YourRdpName") for easy identification.

You can also configure additional settings such as screen size and resolution, microphone, camera, and local folders. These settings are not mandatory and can be enabled when you need to use certain resources.
