+# Connect to a VM using Remote Desktop Protocol on a Chromebook
+This section shows how a student can connect to a classroom lab VM from a Chromebook by using RDP.
+
+## Install Microsoft Remote Desktop on a Chromebook
+1. Open the App Store on your Chromebook, and search for **Microsoft Remote Desktop**.
+
+    ![Microsoft Remote Desktop](../media/how-to-use-classroom-lab/install-ms-remote-desktop-chromebook.png)
+1. Install the latest version of Microsoft Remote Desktop. 
+
+## Access the VM from your Chromebook using RDP
+1. Open the **RDP** file that's downloaded on your computer with **Microsoft Remote Desktop** installed. It should start connecting to the VM. 
+
+    ![Connect to VM](../media/how-to-use-classroom-lab/connect-vm-chromebook.png)
+
+1. When prompted, enter your password.
+    ![Connect to VM](../media/how-to-use-classroom-lab/password-chromebook.png)
+
+
+1. Select **Continue** if you receive the following warning. 
+
+    ![Certificate warning](../media/how-to-use-classroom-lab/certificate-error-chromebook.png)
+
+1. You should see the desktop of the VM that you are connecting to.
