Step 1: Create a key pair
AWS uses public-key cryptography to secure the login information for your instance. You specify the name of the key pair when you launch your instance, then provide the private key to obtain the administrator password for your Windows instance so you can log in using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).
Step 2: Launch an instance
Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.
Choose all the default settings can generate the easiest instance.
Step 3: Connect to your instance
To connect to a Windows instance, you must retrieve the initial administrator password and use this password when you connect to your instance using Remote Desktop.
