I tried earlier today and I had no luck actually getting an instance running

It would help if the explanation was specific to a raspberry pi

    No not really. You first enable it on the raspberry pie. Then you access your raspberry pie from your normal computer by running this command in your command line or shell: ssh user@1.2.3.4 where ‘user’ is your raspberry pi user (pi by default), and ‘1.2.3.4’ is the ip address of the pi.

        You can SSH using command line. I do have a Windows Pro license, but I THINK that it’s not exclusive to Pro…

            Yeah I also installed putty a long time ago, I forget if it was actually necessary or if I was just afraid of command line back then.
