Windows 10 Remote desktop

Not sure if I can do this but..

I'm trying to connect my wireless laptop to my home pc which is on my local wired network, and when I type the ip address in remote desktop of my pc I just get errors saying the computer is not on the network.

is it possible to connect a wireless one to a wired pc and run remote desktop or am I just wasting my time?

On the network I can access the hard drives and share media from both computers through 'Home group' but cant access remote control.

Hope you understand what I'm going on about.

You need to allow remote connections. Not sure on Win10 but on Win7 it under system settings>Remote settings
 
Windows 10, Remote App and Desktop connections / Allow remote access to your computer;

Click window, bottom left, scroll to settings, type remote in search box, above options will then show.
