I am currently using LogMeIn, mainly to support parents and inlaws computers.  

 

It's coming up for expiry and I really can't justify the high cost for just three computers.  Anyone have suggestions for a more affordable option?  All are Windows 7/10 machines.

I recommend and use Teamviewer. (Free for personal use).  There is always some sort of remote access done by chrome, that also get's recommended.

I use Anydesk. Free, and works very well. No limit on connection times.

Teamviewer works well for me




I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup. Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.
