the origenal question was remote desktop
if all you want to do is remote desktop then the windows will work fine your windows security will do the job
but a better solution would be to create a VPN network to network then you would have direct access to upload and download directly to the PLC or the HMI as you need
Install one of these at each site

you still need to set up port forwarding on the site internet router and then set up the VPN on the smart flex gateway
this way you don't need to install the programming software on the site PC so licensing is not a problem
You clold even VPN all the sites together and form a network of all the sites with a single access port the options are almost unlinited
