I noticed that there is a remote control app for Chromebooks that has some good
ratings. That could be used to access your Windows computer through the
internet. Since the app is written for Chrome it would likely work much better
than the RealVNC or other remote control software.

James, I think your answer is the best.
Except I would be afraid to connect a Windoz
computer to the Internet due to security
issues I've had with Windoz in the past.
But if VNC is reasonably secure, than good.
At the beginning of this year my laptop
died and I investigated replacements
