So I've been wanting to setup a masternode in crypto and

recently purchased a VPS service to do so. I am having the MOST BASIC of problems, I simply cannot connect to the VPS using windows remote desktop

I'm trying to follow the steps in this video

However, when I enter the IP and click connect I cannot connect. I have never done this before, I have no idea what I'm doing. Even the dumbest of suggestions could be the problem.

the Error message I get is as follows

Remote Desktop can't connect to the remote computer for one of these reasons:

1)remote access to teh server is not enabled
2)The remote computer is turned off
3)the remote computer is not available on the network

So I know the computer is turned on the other two issues I don't know. I'm fairly certain that it is enabled but I really just don't know.

EDIT:

Problem has been solved by simply switching from windows to linux. I still have no idea what caused the problem
