-    2. For **Linux** virtual machines, you can use **SSH** or **RDP** (if it's enabled) to connect to them. For more information, see [Connect to a Linux lab VM](connect-virtual-machine.md#connect-to-a-linux-lab-vm).
+
+1. Connect to the lab VM in either of two ways:
+
+    - For Windows virtual machines, open the RDP connnection file once it has finished downloading. Use the credentials that the lab creator provided to sign in to the virtual machine. For more information, see [Connect to a Windows lab VM](connect-virtual-machine.md#connect-to-a-windows-lab-vm).
+
+    - For Linux virtual machines, you can use either SSH or RDP (if RDP is enabled for the lab) to connect to the VM. For more information, see [Connect to a Linux lab VM](connect-virtual-machine.md#connect-to-a-linux-lab-vm).
