When prompted for the type of installation, I recommend using the default setup. During the installation, you will come to a screen that asks you how you would like to set up TeamViewer. The first thing you do is download and install the TeamViewer software on one of the two computers you want to link together.

The installation process involves installing the software on both systems and creating a TeamViewer account that links the computers together. Setting up TeamViewer on two computers for personal use is pretty simple. Sure, it doesn't have all of the bells and whistles of the paid version, like remote printing or tech support, but for remote access and file sharing, it works well. For personal use, the free version works quite well. I have worked with TeamViewer over the years, as some of our customers use it regularly. In researching this article, I wanted to find remote access software that could be used for personal use for free. We here at Geeks in Phoenix have been using commercial, pay-per-seat remote access software for years now.

It comes down to being able to work on your computer without having to be sitting in front of it. Second, it would be to use that software to access files on that computer or the network it is on. So what would be the main reason for using remote access software? First, it would be to access the software installed on another computer. But with software like TeamViewer, setting up remote access between computers is pretty straightforward. It used to be pretty technically involved to set up remote connections between two computers. Remotely accessing a computer is pretty commonplace nowadays.


Do you have two personal computers and would like to remotely access one from the other? Looking for an effortless way to do it? You can do just that for free with the personal version of TeamViewer.
