Summary: A screenshot walkthrough of connecting to your Windows VPS from iOS/iPadOS with Microsoft's Windows App Mobile (formerly Remote Desktop Mobile), add a PC with your VPS IP and log in as Administrator.

## What this is

Connecting to your Windows VPS from an iPhone or iPad with Microsoft's free client, now called **Windows App Mobile** on the App Store (older screenshots say "Remote Desktop Mobile", same app). Have your **VPS IP** and **Administrator password** handy (both in your welcome email, subject "New Windows VPS - Provisioning Started").

## Steps

1. Install [Windows App Mobile from the App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/remote-desktop-mobile/id714464092) and open it.

2. Tap the **+** icon in the upper right, then **Add PC**.

## Can't get in?

Run the [Windows Troubleshooter](https://vpsdime.com/knowledgebase/windows-vps/windows-troubleshooter) (https://vpsdime.com/wintroubleshooter), it checks power, RDP, and your password, and can reset the password on the spot.
