# nsc rdp

export const CenteredImage = ({src, alt, width, caption, className}) => {
  const [basePath, setBasePath] = useState("");
  useEffect(() => {
    const path = window.location.pathname;
    setBasePath(path === "/docs" || path.startsWith("/docs/") ? "/docs" : "");
  }, []);
  return <Frame caption={caption} className={className} style={{
    maxWidth: width,
    marginInline: "auto"

};

Start an RDP session.

`rdp` connects to a previously created instance via RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol), allowing you to
gain interactive, visual access to your [Windows runners](/docs/architecture/compute/windows).

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
nsc rdp [instance-id]
```

### Example

Start an RDP session to a Windows instance:

```bash theme={null}
nsc rdp 85a32emcg99ii
```

RDP credentials are printed on the CLI and currently need to be entered in the RDP client manually.

<CenteredImage width={600} alt="Windows RDP" src="/docs/images/windows-demo.png" />

You can also omit the instance id, and a list of your instances will be presented to you.

## Options

`nsc rdp` has no options.
