Connecting to your work Mac from a Windows PC or Mac at home is a little different. You’re not going to be able to use Remote Desktop, but that’s okay because there’s a free client called RealVNC viewer that will allow for access. You need to download and install this client on the home PC or home Mac you will be accessing your work Mac from.

Just like with Windows, you first have to set up your work Mac for screen sharing. Press on the Apple Menu, and then press "System Preferences".
Open the “Sharing” preference panel.
Uncheck all boxes except for Remote Management. Press the Remote Management box to check it (if it is not already). It may ask you to give access controls, if it does, check all the boxes in that pop-up window and hit OK.
Click “Computer Settings…” and make sure “VNC viewers may control screen with password” is checked as well as "Show Remote Management status in menu bar". Then enter a password to use. Please use between 4-8 characters and a combination of at least 1 uppercase letter, 1 lowercase letter, 1 symbol, and one number. Click OK.
