Free Remote Desktop For Win7-10, NOT Teamviewer...
GigaJoe:
open task man, add check boxes for mem usage, look who really use it ..
disable swap not recommended, you may decrease it starting with 100M, but it should be, some pages may not be in use it going to swap. basic for all OS behavour
i'm still recommend to use integrated RDP with options ... best speed comparing to any third party

And if there's no swap it just stays resident in RAM. Nothing explodes, performance isn't impacted. More systems out there have no swap than do.

Agreed.
Once we started running systems with GB of RAM, the NEED for the swap file pretty much faded away. Yes, it was necessary to free up real memory when you had pages not in use, but that is a legacy of system limitations that are no longer applicable in ever increasing numbers.
In other words, what you said, GigaJoe, was appropriate 20 years ago ... not so much today.

Berni:
My preferred option for remote desktop these days is Google Chrome Remote Desktop: https://remotedesktop.google.com
I found it as an alternative when TeamViewer started kicking me off after 30 seconds of use (an attempt to force me into buying a license). This Chrome Remote Desktop does the same job as TeamViewer. It lets you connect to a remote PC over the internet and behind firewalls and supports file transfers between the machines. Unlike what the name would suggest it does not require the Chrome browser to work. Its a separate installable windows program that remebers your google login ID. Then any browser can visit this website, login using the same google account and remote desktop into the machine from inside the browser. Completely free and without limits and the setup is very simple as long as you already have a google account.
But for remoting into local machine in the same LAN i just use ultraVNC (or on linux x11vnc) to create a free no bullshit VNC server on the remote machine. These classical VNC clients/servers are pretty fast and responsive on a fast local Ethernet connection. But it is not a good solution for remoting in over the internet as you need open ports to work and a rather fast internet connection to work well.
