You will need to open the App Store and install "Microsoft Remote Desktop". You can search for it in the Mac App Store or click this [link to the download directly from the store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id1295203466?mt=12). From the link you will click "Open in the App Store" and install. You should have received your login information from someone from our support team. If not you can [contact them](https://www.remoteapphosting.net/support/) to get that information. You will need this information later. This article is specific to Mac or Apple computers. Since remote applications are running on a Windows server you will have the best experience on a Windows computer. You can access remote desktops from an Apple computer or mobile device but the experience is not as user friendly. If you have a Windows computer you can find that tutorial [here](https://info.remoteapphosting.net/blog/how-to-install-remote-application-windows). *Other note: Based on your security settings and additional security software, you might have other prompts that you might have to allow or accept during the install process.* ## Installing the Remote Application for Apple 1. Open 'Microsoft Remote Desktop' Install this from the Mac App Store - [https://apps.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id1295203466](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id1295203466) 2.
