Is AeroAdmin on Windows 10 Home an alternative to Windows 10 Pro for remote access?

Situation: you need to buy a new laptop, but almost everywhere it is sold with Windows 10 Home preinstalled. For my work it is important to use remote access on the laptop.
In Windows 10 Home, the remote access feature is disabled, it is only in Windows 10 Pro.
Q: Can I use, say, the AeroAdmin program on Win 10 Home for a remote access alternative to Win 10 Pro? What can be pitfalls?
Maybe there is another solution?

The home version has a standard client for connecting to remote desktops.
There is no server, but there is a crutch in the form:

Perhaps partially.
These are quite different things.
Microsoft's default technology is RDP. This is a very high quality, fast and convenient thing, deeply integrated into the system. But for it to work, you definitely need a white IP address. You won't be able to connect to a host located behind NAT. And for access, you first need to configure the computer - allow remote access, set passwords for users, the rules in the firewall allow you to do it.
Programs like Aeroadmin, teamviewer and the like work great even if the target computer is located behind NAT, no preliminary configuration is required, just run the software and that's it. But the quality is definitely worse.
