hi guys

 

My dad is 74 years old and wants to use a pc but literally knows nothing of how they work.

Is there any good free programs that i can remotely take over his pc while he has his cellphone on speaker so i can fix anything wrong or walk him through it?

I tried just talking him through stuff over the phone but he cant take instructions that way and he was calling me everyday.

He barely can use a mouse so i need a little more hands on approach without having to go to his house everyday 10x a day.

If there's nothing free that's ok as long as its not really expensive.

 

Thanks

Free will work as long as its not commercial.....then you need to buy

 

TV works cross platform.......Linux, mac and windows 

 

CRD definitely will work across different Windows versions, haven't tried other OSes, but since it also runs on Android, I'd assume they already have a working Linux/mac version
