Remote Desktop and General Management of 24+ PCs
We are a growing small business with no formal IT department.
As admin of the company, I need a way to remote into any of our machines (when turned on) at any given time (ideally discreetly), as well as be able to log into existing user accounts (without prior knowledge of password) and perform Administrator-level tasks.
Most of our machines are Windows 10 Home, and that is serving the purpose of our company.
We currently subscribe to LogMeIn Central (or whatever they're calling it now) and it's a) expensive and b) easily disabled by the end user. This is not so much a trust/concern issue with staff as it is about being able to get into the machine at ANY time as needed, if for some reason needed in an emergency.
Appreciate any insight. Thanks!

You can also go with the free option of VNC...there are a LOT of VNC forks so you can even go totally free like TightVNC...you just install the server module to the machines you want to control and with the viewer you get access to every machine whenever you want ....
We should split points here in a non-equal way:

or similar. Lee has been verbose and correct in all points, but the tools suggested would work with some restrictions.
