Troubled Laptop Tries to Takes Up a Task

Good Morning from my Robotics Lab! This is Shadow_8472, and today, I am working on my laptop again, this time to get it to remote in to my tower and remain stable. Let’s get started!

As of starting to write this post, I still haven’t finished. I have a week before this project is “due,” so I still have some time. But so far, I’ve encountered half a score of problems and solved/bypassed/made provisions for bypassing most of them, the first of which was the laptop not even booting correctly. It brought up the boot menu and refused to boot the hard drive several times until it got sent to diagnostics, where it froze. My father advised I pull the chord, and I booted it again. I had a double take when I spotted Windows loading.

Since both machines are running Windows, and the target machine is Windows 10 Pro, Windows comes with remote access tools built in. I’m using those, as they’ll hopefully run the lowest risk of complications and have more features I won’t have to fight the systems for, like dual screens.

My tower doesn’t seem to like being remoted into. I followed at least a couple tutorials and visited both the legacy control panel and the newer, more touchscreen friendly, settings menu (I do not have a touchscreen for this machine). These sets of settings seem to ignore each other, though I could be wrong. It’s very annoying. I believe it’s what’s keeping me from making a full breakthrough.

In other news, I tried reaching out to an appropriate discord server for my new long-term project, but it seems I’ll need to keep researching to find a complete workflow, or if it’s even possible outside a dedicated studio.

Final Question: I’m just going to re-run my last question, now that I’ve sent another clue: What do you think I am researching?
