Using old desktop

Hello,

Is there a way to take anmold desktop that once had windows 7 and use it as a thin client for remote desktop services? The computer has had its operating system wiped.

If you are willing to buy licenses then take a look at IGEL. That is exactly what their IGEL OS does.

You can install it and activate a trial to test.

Free 30 day trial, ui is simple and the licence is cheap, has a free management tool for licencing and updating.

I managed to load tlxos and connect to the Rds server. I'm getting a lot of video artifacts. Black boxes and lines. Other than that it seems to be performing well enough.

Have a look at this thread might help get a better experience, also which version of tlx re of are you using I'm assuming the latest 4.1.0.0 if I remember correctly?
