How can I use my home computer (running Windows 10 Home), to access my office computer (running Windows 10 Pro) via Remote Desktop Connection?

I am using my Windows 10 computer at home.  I would like to access (via remote desktop connection) my office computer, which is running Winows 10 professional.

What are the steps to set that up?  Note:  My office does have a business fiber modem, and a wireless router.

Thanks for your help!

There are many programs out there for this.  TeamViewer being one of them...https://www.teamviewer.com/en/features/remote-device-control/?utm_referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F

I would just like to use Remote Desktop Connection, like I use to use on my Windows 7 computer.

At $49 per month, TeamViewer is much more expensive than Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection.

I like Teamviewer for some of the bells and whistles, and it makes things very easy.  On the other hand, I use it mostly to help others at work.  The built-in RDP/RDC is pretty good (see eemmph's comment).  Just make sure you are in the remote users' group on the work machine, otherwise, it becomes a real pain.

Thanks's Scott, that works for me!
Glad I could help.
You should not be exposing port 3389 to the internet.  It's a security risk.  Have you company setup a VPN or RD Gateway.
