Can't enable remote desktop on Windows 7
Solution 1:
Windows 7 Home Premium does NOT have Remote Desktop, so you have to use an alternative application.
However, alternatives are available for both terminal services (mstsc alternatives) or new protocols such as VNC.
Solution 2:
Found this on a Microsoft forum:
The only versions with the "server" of Remote Desktop is Professional and Ultimate. Home Premium does NOT have this.
It has Remote Desktop Connection, meaning it can connect to other PC's, but it is not able to be connected to.
To the poster above, he's not good to go, he wanted to upgrade to Home Premium for $50, but its crippled without RDP host (what he needs), so he has to go for Professional for $100. (Prices reflect current discount pricing)
