Technically MSFT disabled the RDP server feature in Home edition, meaning you can't use Windows Home as RDP host (I am not sure the proper terminology for this). The software still in there, you only can use RDP client in Win Home, not the server aspect. It is just disabled without official way of enabling it (w/o upgrading to Pro). However there is way to get it enabled in Windows Home, it need rdpwrap by stascrop. Just download the file and run it. It will get the server aspect running.

There is an official way to get RDP connections to Windows Home edition systems, Windows Quick Assist: https://community.windows.com/en-us/stories/windows-quick-as...

Obviously it has far more restrictions than enabling RDP on Pro systems, but that's because it's clearly designed with Home users (average consumers) in mind.
