How to remotely access other computer?

Hi Richard,

There is a great solution to your problem. It is a great help for them who using internet and can navigate computers. You can work on not only your partner’s computer who is from your city but also you can work any computer which is from another country too. Just you need to set up the software and pair through internet connection. The software is named teamviewer (TV). You just need to collect its back up file. It is too much available over internet.

You can easily download that. Then set up this software to your computer. The installation process is just as any software. Tell your partner to do the installation also.  After finishing installation, you can connect through internet. You just need to enter your partner’s id and password. Then press enter. Now just enjoy the wonder. Your partner’s desktop is in front of you. You can also easily file transfer by this software. Hopefully you are looking for this kind of thing.
