Windows 10/11 Home ship with the built-in Remote Desktop Connection client (mstsc.exe), so users can initiate RDP sessions to computers that support being a host (e.g., Pro or Enterprise). However, the services required to act as an RDP host are absent in the Home SKU, so other devices cannot connect to a Home PC via RDP.
