Restoring the disk is just as simple unless you want to restore from a network disk because you need to find the network adapter driver.  Will have a video on that later.

This is a free list of options with the most simple at the top of the list:

  1. logmein.com – from LogMeIn where you can find a variety of remote services including a free version that is the only free option I know about that is simple to use.  Even though you won’t see the ‘Free’ option right away you will as you are going through the process of installing their software on your computer.
  2. Remote Desktop – from Microsoft is built-in to all Windows professional class versions of Windows.  If you have Windows pro or business you are part of the way there.  Then you need to enable port forwarding on your router to your computer.  Default Port to forward: 3389
  3. RealVNC -  UltraVNC – TightVNC are all basically the same open source software that will work similar to Logmein but requires the same port forwarding on your router as the Remote Desktop.  Default Port to forward: 5900
