Some versions of Windows do have remote ability, but the home editions do not have the ability to control another computer (only the ability to be remotely controlled by a machine running a higher edition).
So if you're on a home version of Windows (the one that's restricted) you will need to install and set up software on both computers.

You can get some free software like LogMeIn Ignition or TeamViewer that makes it easy.
Windows does have a few remote access software built in, such as Remote Assistance/Remote Desktop Connection.

I tried TeamViewer and access to my brother's laptop because he dont know how to update and etc. It works great. By the way, it give you an opportunity of two options: Installed it to your PC or just click it and it will allow you to access other PC but someone will have to give you his/her password which TeamViewer will provide that. No, you dont need to register either. Your private. Awesome. 
^+1 for Teamviewer. It has great functionality and it's brill that you can tell someone to just run a program when you want to help them without having to install anything. Also, you can create a Teamviewer account and access your PC through a web browser (so long as you have flash) just by logging in. No programs necessary (apart from Teamviewer on the remote PC obviously).

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.+1

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.+1
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
