I could run TightVNC on my new laptop, it's open source. It's a little clunkier but it will do. Just tried it, it works. I think I'll stick with TightVNC because A: I won't be using it much, and B: RealVNC no longer have a link to download their viewer on their front page. Anecdotally, I haven't been using TightVNC on my desktop because Windows makes it fuzzy. If you tell Windows to increase font size, it blurrily scales the display of programs which don't support it. (KHM, are you laughing? :) My desktop is Win7 so I can mitigate the problem by selecting a theme that looks like Windows 95 *eye-roll* :) but that doesn't work for TightVNC. My laptop is Win10, they cleaned up the theming, so I've just set the font scale to 100% and settled for having to peer at menus. It won't be too bad because I won't be using it as much as the desktop.
