Connect with RDP interface will open up, and now we need to download the RDP file using the Download RDP File button.

Now in your downloads folder, you can see a .rdp file with the name of your VM.

Just open that file.

Remote Desktop Connection interface will open up, and you need to tap on the Connect button to connect to your VM.

Windows Security interface will open up. But you need to tap on More choices option given below. And there you need to choose Use a different account option.
