Issue with connecting remotely System is not functioning for remote access.
Additional issues with the build: Phenom II X4 955 Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 Windows 7 Home Premium 1TB WD Caviar Green (SSD is top priority). I’ve completed the updates, installed Bitdefender, and now I want to configure Remote Access. However, it isn’t working. The computer name is "Phenom," but the only profile listed is "MC Server." It can’t locate it. This problem occurs both ways—my tower can’t connect to the Phenom tower. The error messages are: 1. I have checked that it is. 2. It’s not—audio and visual confirm it. 3. Each tower can see the other in File Explorer’s Network section.
Check if the hostname resolves correctly from another machine. Test RDP via its IP address. Attempt with firewall off. If successful without it, open TCP 3389 on the firewall. Note: W7 Home Premium can't act as an RDP server. Confirm remote access is active.

Windows 7 Pro is compatible, while Home Premium isn't. You have alternative choices available. I previously relied on an RDP Wrapper for my non-Pro systems, which functioned well. This is how it appears on Pro:
