Các Câu Hỏi Thường Gặp Về Cách Truy Cập Windows từ Mac

Q1: Tôi có cần phải ở trên cùng một mạng để truy cập từ xa một PC từ Mac không?

Với Ứng dụng Windows, bạn thường cần phải ở trên cùng một mạng cục bộ hoặc sử dụng VPN để mô phỏng môi trường đó; nếu không, kết nối có thể thất bại hoặc yêu cầu chuyển tiếp cổng, điều này không thân thiện với người mới bắt đầu.

DeskIn, ngược lại, sử dụng máy chủ trung gian dựa trên đám mây để cho phép kết nối qua mạng mặc định. Điều này làm cho nó tiện lợi hơn cho người dùng làm việc từ xa trên các địa điểm hoặc mạng khác nhau.

Q2: Tôi có thể chuyển tệp từ Mac đến PC của mình trong phiên làm việc từ xa không?

Ứng dụng Windows hỗ trợ chuyển hướng tệp cơ bản, nhưng chỉ từ các thư mục đã chỉ định trước và với khả năng xử lý tệp hạn chế. Nó phù hợp cho việc truy cập tệp nhẹ, không phải chuyển giao động.

DeskIn cung cấp một giao diện chuyển tệp chuyên dụng, cho phép chuyển tệp kéo-thả theo thời gian thực với tốc độ lên đến 12MB/s, bất kể định dạng tệp. Nó cũng hỗ trợ đồng bộ clipboard và chia sẻ thư mục cho những quy trình làm việc nâng cao hơn.

Q3: Tôi có thể sử dụng những ứng dụng này để chơi game PC từ Mac không?

Ứng dụng Windows không được thiết kế cho các tác vụ hiệu năng cao như chơi game. Độ trễ đầu vào, FPS giới hạn, và thiếu hỗ trợ tay cầm game khiến nó không thực tế cho nội dung tương tác.

DeskIn, tuy nhiên, cung cấp phát trực tuyến 60FPS, đầu vào độ trễ thấp, hỗ trợ tay cầm, và tùy chỉnh ánh xạ bàn phím/chuột. Mặc dù không phải là một nền tảng phát trực tuyến game đầy đủ, nhưng nó phù hợp cho trải nghiệm chơi game từ xa nhẹ nhàng hoặc yêu cầu vừa phải.


Kết Luận

Nếu bạn đang tìm kiếm một cách nhanh chóng và miễn phí để kết nối vào một máy tính Windows từ Mac, Microsoft Remote Desktop (Windows App) là một lựa chọn vững chắc, đặc biệt là cho người dùng doanh nghiệp có quyền truy cập vào phiên bản Windows đúng và thiết lập mạng hợp lý.

Tuy nhiên, nếu bạn cần một trải nghiệm máy tính để bàn từ xa đa năng hơn, đầy đủ tính năng hơn, và thân thiện với người dùng, DeskIn là sự lựa chọn nổi bật. Nó loại bỏ các rào cản kỹ thuật, hỗ trợ các trường hợp sử dụng đa dạng từ công việc đến giải trí, và bao gồm các công cụ mạnh mẽ như chuyển tệp, phản chiếu màn hình, và phát trực tuyến 4K, ngay cả trong phiên bản miễn phí của nó.

An IT staff is monitoring company system

Remote Monitoring & Maintenance for IT Teams Using DeskIn

In IT, there’s a universal truth: systems never break down when it’s convenient. It’s 3 AM. Your phone buzzes. A server just went rogue. The team’s halfway across the globe. And you’re under a blanket. That’s the reality of modern IT, distributed teams, hybrid work, and the need for always-on support.

The great news is, you do not need to be in the server room or burn the midnight oil keeping those systems running. The right remote monitoring & maintenance (RMM) solution gives you visibility into what's happening, enables you to resolve issues quickly, and even averts problems before they happen.

In this post, we explain the essence of RMM, why it has become so vital to IT teams today, and how it can assist you in managing ever-expanding systems in a secure, flexible as well as scalable manner from anywhere using DeskIn.

👉 Click here to download DeskIn

What is RMM?

Remote monitoring & maintenance, or RMM, is how IT teams can view and fix devices without being in the same room, or even country. You can remotely hop in there, spot what the problem is, and fix it in that location instead of walking right over someone’s desk in order to check why a PC is crawling.

What Does RMM Actually Do?

At its core, remote monitoring & maintenance is to keep your devices healthy and your users productive. It typically includes:

  • Monitoring system health: Get a live look at CPU load, RAM usage, disk space, and even how apps behave over time. If someone’s laptop is overheating because 47 Chrome tabs are open, you’ll know.

  • Detecting usage patterns:  Know what kind of alerts are being generated frequently and how systems/services are used, or misused, notice the pattern before it gets to your attention due to a production issue.

  • Performing updates and diagnostics remotely: Patch security holes, push software updates, and run checks without waiting for someone to bring their device into the office; you can handle it all in real time.

Who uses RMM?

  • IT helpdesks: Fix issues quickly without disrupting the user.

  • Enterprise IT teams: Manage thousands of devices across multiple sites with ease.

  • Managed Service Providers (MSPs): Deliver proactive support that keeps clients running smoothly.

In short, RMM transforms IT from reactive to proactive, letting teams maintain infrastructure without burning out or chasing tickets all day. And in 2025, with devices spread across homes, offices, co-working spaces, and even airports, remote monitoring & maintenance isn’t just helpful, it’s mission-critical.

Why Remote Monitoring Matters in 2025

The way we work has changed, permanently. Offices are optional, teams are global, and IT is expected to support everyone, everywhere, without skipping a beat. In this world, remote monitoring & maintenance isn’t just a convenience, it’s the glue holding modern work together.

Let’s break down why it’s more critical than ever in 2025.

1. The Remote and Hybrid Workforce Is Here to Stay

Back in the day, IT could stroll over with a USB stick and a screwdriver. Not anymore.

Now, your design lead works from a café in Seoul, your marketing team is spread across four cities, and your developer just hopped into a new time zone, again. Supporting this scattered crew means keeping eyes on every device, no matter where it’s plugged in.

That’s where remote monitoring & maintenance shines. It keeps systems visible, updated, and supported, whether users are at home, in the office, or somewhere in between.

2. Downtime Is Expensive

Every minute of downtime bleeds productivity, revenue, and trust. A laggy laptop during a client pitch, a frozen system mid-code deployment, those moments hurt.

With remote monitoring & maintenance, IT can act before trouble hits. You’re not waiting for someone to say, “Hey, something’s wrong.” You’ve already spotted the issue and fixed it before it derails the workday.

3. Real-Time Visibility Stops Bigger Problems

It’s the difference between noticing your car’s engine overheating while cruising on the highway or catching it in the driveway.

With real-time visibility, you can watch CPU spikes, memory leaks, overheating, or unusual activity as they happen. It’s like a live dashboard that lets you step in before small hiccups turn into full-scale crashes.

4. We Live in a Cross-Platform World

Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS — today’s work devices speak different languages, and your monitoring tools need to be fluent in all of them.

With solutions like remote desktop, you can manage them all from one place. Whether it’s a MacBook in a music studio, a Windows desktop in a data center, or a mobile device in the field, remote monitoring & maintenance keep them all connected, secure, and running at their peak.

Remote Monitoring & Maintenance for IT Teams Using DeskIn

In IT, there’s a universal truth: systems never break down when it’s convenient. It’s 3 AM. Your phone buzzes. A server just went rogue. The team’s halfway across the globe. And you’re under a blanket. That’s the reality of modern IT, distributed teams, hybrid work, and the need for always-on support.

The great news is, you do not need to be in the server room or burn the midnight oil keeping those systems running. The right remote monitoring & maintenance (RMM) solution gives you visibility into what's happening, enables you to resolve issues quickly, and even averts problems before they happen.

In this post, we explain the essence of RMM, why it has become so vital to IT teams today, and how it can assist you in managing ever-expanding systems in a secure, flexible as well as scalable manner from anywhere using DeskIn.

What is RMM?

Remote monitoring & maintenance, or RMM, is how IT teams can view and fix devices without being in the same room, or even country. You can remotely hop in there, spot what the problem is, and fix it in that location instead of walking right over someone’s desk in order to check why a PC is crawling.

What Does RMM Actually Do?

At its core, remote monitoring & maintenance is to keep your devices healthy and your users productive. It typically includes:

  • Monitoring system health: Get a live look at CPU load, RAM usage, disk space, and even how apps behave over time. If someone’s laptop is overheating because 47 Chrome tabs are open, you’ll know.

  • Detecting usage patterns:  Know what kind of alerts are being generated frequently and how systems/services are used, or misused, notice the pattern before it gets to your attention due to a production issue.

  • Performing updates and diagnostics remotely: Patch security holes, push software updates, and run checks without waiting for someone to bring their device into the office; you can handle it all in real time.

Who uses RMM?

  • IT helpdesks: Fix issues quickly without disrupting the user.

  • Enterprise IT teams: Manage thousands of devices across multiple sites with ease.

  • Managed Service Providers (MSPs): Deliver proactive support that keeps clients running smoothly.

In short, RMM transforms IT from reactive to proactive, letting teams maintain infrastructure without burning out or chasing tickets all day. And in 2025, with devices spread across homes, offices, co-working spaces, and even airports, remote monitoring & maintenance isn’t just helpful, it’s mission-critical.

Why Remote Monitoring Matters in 2025

The way we work has changed, permanently. Offices are optional, teams are global, and IT is expected to support everyone, everywhere, without skipping a beat. In this world, remote monitoring & maintenance isn’t just a convenience, it’s the glue holding modern work together.

Let’s break down why it’s more critical than ever in 2025.

1. The Remote and Hybrid Workforce Is Here to Stay

Back in the day, IT could stroll over with a USB stick and a screwdriver. Not anymore.

Now, your design lead works from a café in Seoul, your marketing team is spread across four cities, and your developer just hopped into a new time zone, again. Supporting this scattered crew means keeping eyes on every device, no matter where it’s plugged in.

That’s where remote monitoring & maintenance shines. It keeps systems visible, updated, and supported, whether users are at home, in the office, or somewhere in between.

2. Downtime Is Expensive

Every minute of downtime bleeds productivity, revenue, and trust. A laggy laptop during a client pitch, a frozen system mid-code deployment, those moments hurt.

With remote monitoring & maintenance, IT can act before trouble hits. You’re not waiting for someone to say, “Hey, something’s wrong.” You’ve already spotted the issue and fixed it before it derails the workday.

3. Real-Time Visibility Stops Bigger Problems

It’s the difference between noticing your car’s engine overheating while cruising on the highway or catching it in the driveway.

With real-time visibility, you can watch CPU spikes, memory leaks, overheating, or unusual activity as they happen. It’s like a live dashboard that lets you step in before small hiccups turn into full-scale crashes.

4. We Live in a Cross-Platform World

Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS — today’s work devices speak different languages, and your monitoring tools need to be fluent in all of them.

With solutions like remote desktop, you can manage them all from one place. Whether it’s a MacBook in a music studio, a Windows desktop in a data center, or a mobile device in the field, remote monitoring & maintenance keep them all connected, secure, and running at their peak.

DeskIn vs Duet Display: The Best Screen Extension Tool for 2025?

Ever feel like your laptop screen just isn’t cutting it anymore? Like you’re constantly flipping between tabs, resizing windows, and trying to squeeze too much into too little space? Whether you're editing videos, designing, or just trying to keep Slack, Zoom, and Notion open at once, having a second screen can seriously save your sanity.

That’s where tools like Duet Display come in. It’s been a popular pick for a while, letting you turn your iPad (or other devices) into a screen extender. Pretty handy, right? But here’s the thing: in 2025, we’ve got options. And if you’re the kind of person who wants more than “just works,” there’s a new name worth checking out — DeskIn.

It’s not just another Duet Display alternative; it’s a screen extender with muscle. Real-time performance, ultra-low latency, and even 4K60FPS streaming. Deskin is built for people who actually need speed and clarity, not just extra screen space.

So if you’re setting up a dual monitor rig for work, gaming, or both, let’s break it down: Duet Display vs DeskIn — who really wins the second screen game in 2025?

What Is Duet Display and How Does It Work?

Originally built by former Apple engineers, Duet Display is an app that transforms your iPad, iPhone, Android device, or even another computer into a wireless or wired screen extender for your Mac or Windows PC. It's designed to bring portable, dual-screen power to people who don't want to haul around an extra monitor.

Supported Platforms

  • macOS

  • Windows

  • iOS / iPadOS

  • Android

Key Features

  • Share keyboard and mouse across two devices

  • Desktop-to-desktop screen extension

  • iOS mirroring (view your iPhone on your PC or Mac)

Limitations

  • Most advanced features are locked behind a paywall

Common Use Cases for Duet Display:

  • Students or remote workers needing a budget-friendly dual monitor setup

Duet Display is great for everyday multitasking. It shines when you’re on the go or working with limited gear.

And that’s why more people in 2025 are eyeing a more powerful Duet Display alternative, like DeskIn.

The September Game Releases You Need to Wishlist for Remote Play

September is always an exciting month for gamers. As the weather cools down, the gaming world heats up with fresh releases. Some games releasing this month are so addictive they’ll make you lose track of time. The stories keep you curious, the gameplay keeps your heart racing, and that “just one more round” easily turns into hours.

In this article, we’ll go through six of the most wishlisted titles launching this September: Hollow Knight: Silksong, Borderlands 4, Silent Hill F, Hell is Us, EAFC 26, and NBA 2K26. These games are set to spark huge conversations in the gaming community.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

silksong games, fitst list for games releases on sept

Synopsis
The long-awaited sequel to Hollow Knight puts you in the shoes of Hornet, guardian of Hallownest, as she ventures into a new kingdom full of enemies, traps, and mysteries. Expect fast, fluid combat and precision platforming that defines the series.

You’ll face over 200 fierce enemies—from beasts and hunters to assassins, kings, and knights—that will push you to keep playing.

Pro Gamer tip
Not every device can deliver the full experience. Consoles like Steam Deck, Xbox, Switch, and PlayStation are ideal, but not everyone owns them—especially PC gamers. With DeskIn, you can stream it straight to your mobile phone and even map joystick controls the way you like.

Borderlands 4

borderlands game launching

Synopsis
The looter-shooter franchise returns with crazier guns, wilder humor, and even more chaotic co-op missions. Players will explore alien planets, take on gangs and monsters, and hunt down loot that transforms playstyles.

Fans have been starving for a new Silent Hill entry. Silent Hill F is said to bring back the franchise’s terrifying roots, making it one of the most hyped new games launching this year. One big mystery remains though: what does the “F” in the title stand for?

Pro tip
Silent Hill’s terror hits hardest with strong visuals and immersive sound. Sadly, not all devices can support that. Luckily, DeskIn lets you launch games without Steam and still feel the chills anywhere.

Remote Monitoring & Maintenance for IT Teams Using DeskIn

In IT, there’s a universal truth: systems never break down when it’s convenient. It’s 3 AM. Your phone buzzes. A server just went rogue. The team’s halfway across the globe. And you’re under a blanket. That’s the reality of modern IT, distributed teams, hybrid work, and the need for always-on support.

The great news is, you do not need to be in the server room or burn the midnight oil keeping those systems running. The right remote monitoring & maintenance (RMM) solution gives you visibility into what's happening, enables you to resolve issues quickly, and even averts problems before they happen.

In this post, we explain the essence of RMM, why it has become so vital to IT teams today, and how it can assist you in managing ever-expanding systems in a secure, flexible as well as scalable manner from anywhere using DeskIn.

👉 Click here to download DeskIn

What is RMM?

Remote monitoring & maintenance, or RMM, is how IT teams can view and fix devices without being in the same room, or even country. You can remotely hop in there, spot what the problem is, and fix it in that location instead of walking right over someone’s desk in order to check why a PC is crawling.

What Does RMM Actually Do?

At its core, remote monitoring & maintenance is to keep your devices healthy and your users productive. It typically includes:

  • Monitoring system health: Get a live look at CPU load, RAM usage, disk space, and even how apps behave over time. If someone’s laptop is overheating because 47 Chrome tabs are open, you’ll know.

  • Detecting usage patterns:  Know what kind of alerts are being generated frequently and how systems/services are used, or misused, notice the pattern before it gets to your attention due to a production issue.

  • Performing updates and diagnostics remotely: Patch security holes, push software updates, and run checks without waiting for someone to bring their device into the office; you can handle it all in real time.

Who uses RMM?

  • IT helpdesks: Fix issues quickly without disrupting the user.

  • Enterprise IT teams: Manage thousands of devices across multiple sites with ease.

  • Managed Service Providers (MSPs): Deliver proactive support that keeps clients running smoothly.

In short, RMM transforms IT from reactive to proactive, letting teams maintain infrastructure without burning out or chasing tickets all day. And in 2025, with devices spread across homes, offices, co-working spaces, and even airports, remote monitoring & maintenance isn’t just helpful, it’s mission-critical.

Why Remote Monitoring Matters in 2025

The way we work has changed, permanently. Offices are optional, teams are global, and IT is expected to support everyone, everywhere, without skipping a beat. In this world, remote monitoring & maintenance isn’t just a convenience, it’s the glue holding modern work together.

Let’s break down why it’s more critical than ever in 2025.

1. The Remote and Hybrid Workforce Is Here to Stay

Back in the day, IT could stroll over with a USB stick and a screwdriver. Not anymore.

Now, your design lead works from a café in Seoul, your marketing team is spread across four cities, and your developer just hopped into a new time zone, again. Supporting this scattered crew means keeping eyes on every device, no matter where it’s plugged in.

That’s where remote monitoring & maintenance shines. It keeps systems visible, updated, and supported, whether users are at home, in the office, or somewhere in between.

2. Downtime Is Expensive

Every minute of downtime bleeds productivity, revenue, and trust. A laggy laptop during a client pitch, a frozen system mid-code deployment, those moments hurt.

With remote monitoring & maintenance, IT can act before trouble hits. You’re not waiting for someone to say, “Hey, something’s wrong.” You’ve already spotted the issue and fixed it before it derails the workday.

3. Real-Time Visibility Stops Bigger Problems

It’s the difference between noticing your car’s engine overheating while cruising on the highway or catching it in the driveway.

With real-time visibility, you can watch CPU spikes, memory leaks, overheating, or unusual activity as they happen. It’s like a live dashboard that lets you step in before small hiccups turn into full-scale crashes.

4. We Live in a Cross-Platform World

Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS — today’s work devices speak different languages, and your monitoring tools need to be fluent in all of them.

With solutions like remote desktop, you can manage them all from one place. Whether it’s a MacBook in a music studio, a Windows desktop in a data center, or a mobile device in the field, remote monitoring & maintenance keep them all connected, secure, and running at their peak.

DeskIn vs Duet Display: The Best Screen Extension Tool for 2025?

Ever feel like your laptop screen just isn’t cutting it anymore? Like you’re constantly flipping between tabs, resizing windows, and trying to squeeze too much into too little space? Whether you're editing videos, designing, or just trying to keep Slack, Zoom, and Notion open at once, having a second screen can seriously save your sanity.

That’s where tools like Duet Display come in. It’s been a popular pick for a while, letting you turn your iPad (or other devices) into a screen extender. Pretty handy, right? But here’s the thing: in 2025, we’ve got options. And if you’re the kind of person who wants more than “just works,” there’s a new name worth checking out — DeskIn.

It’s not just another Duet Display alternative; it’s a screen extender with muscle. Real-time performance, ultra-low latency, and even 4K60FPS streaming. Deskin is built for people who actually need speed and clarity, not just extra screen space.

So if you’re setting up a dual monitor rig for work, gaming, or both, let’s break it down: Duet Display vs DeskIn — who really wins the second screen game in 2025?

What Is Duet Display and How Does It Work?

Originally built by former Apple engineers, Duet Display is an app that transforms your iPad, iPhone, Android device, or even another computer into a wireless or wired screen extender for your Mac or Windows PC. It's designed to bring portable, dual-screen power to people who don't want to haul around an extra monitor.

Supported Platforms

  • macOS

  • Windows

  • iOS / iPadOS

  • Android

Key Features

  • Converts your mobile device into a second screen

  • Wired (USB) and wireless screen extension

  • Touch input and Apple Pencil support for interactive second-screen use

  • Basic stylus input for sketching or light creative work on an extended display

  • Share keyboard and mouse across two devices

  • Desktop-to-desktop screen extension

  • iOS mirroring (view your iPhone on your PC or Mac)

  • Headless mode for server control

  • A lightweight, portable monitor replacement — perfect for digital nomads

Limitations

  • Most advanced features are locked behind a paywall

  • Doesn’t support full-color accuracy (no 4:4:4 rendering)

  • Not optimized for gaming — no game controller passthrough or high-FPS streaming

Common Use Cases for Duet Display:

  • Students or remote workers needing a budget-friendly dual monitor setup

  • Designers doing light sketching with Apple Pencil

  • Travelers who want a second screen without packing an extra display

  • Tech-savvy users wanting to control multiple machines from one device

Duet Display is great for everyday multitasking. It shines when you’re on the go or working with limited gear. But if your workflow demands real-time responsiveness, ultra-crisp 4K visuals, or pro-grade color fidelity, you might start hitting its limits fast. And that’s why more people in 2025 are eyeing a more powerful Duet Display alternative, like DeskIn.
