We're often asked how the different Remote Desktop clients compare to each other. Do they all do the same thing? Here are the answers to those questions.
Redirection support
The following tables compare support for device and other redirections across the different clients. These tables cover the redirections that you can access once in a remote session.
If you remote into your personal desktop, there are additional redirections that you can configure in the Additional Settings for the session. If your remote desktop or apps are managed by your organization, your admin can enable or disable redirections through Group Policy settings or RDP properties.
