This tutorial describes how to turn on Remote Assistance feature in Windows 10. During the early days of the development of personal computing, setting up a new computer used to be a tough task. There were a thousand settings that needed to be checked and re-checked, and even more options that had to be configured while installing an Operating System, or even a program.
However, that ain’t the case anymore. As Operating Systems and programs have advanced, setting them up has gotten easier. And it couldn’t be truer for the latest and greatest Windows 10, which, despite being super advanced, is ridiculously easy to set up. But there might be times when you find yourself stuck with a new installation/setup.
For times like these, Windows 10 includes a super cool Remote Assistance feature, that allows you to seek the help of a friend/technician in setting up your computer over the Internet.

Conversely, you can help your pal in setting up his/her computer as well. Exciting, isn’t it? Let’s see how to turn on Remote Assistance feature in Windows 10.
