I recently created an RDP using google cloud computing. It basically allows you to connect to another computer in a different location on your own. I assume that’s where the remote comes in. My main purpose was to check out Tor Browser, which I was able to do by creating RDP’s within RDP’s.
Depending on what you use to create your RDP, e.g. Google cloud computing, you can use Windows services and gives you extra storage, better speed etc for applications and programmes.

Just look at it as another computer , whatever you do on your PC won't effect it as long you don't restart it or turn it off
You can turn off your computer and it will keep running 24/7 if you get it from a reputable seller

Microsoft Windows machines implement a mechanism that permits connecting from outside and remotely controlling them.
By default a desktop PC has this disconnected + there is a port that should be opened in order to this mechanism to accept connections (numbered 3389). Individual routers have this ported closed by default through another mechanism called NAT
Therefore a single laptop with Windows, won't be "accessible" via RDP unless A) You activate this service + B) You "open" the port in your router linking to your laptop IP address
Also the PC has to be ON in order to RDP to work, because the RDP service has to be active. By default, if you activate RDP service, it will activate as soon as you boot (you don't even need to input your credentials)
This said, online servers that 24/7 ON and are Windows based, have RDP service activated. Also the "router" they use, have all the ports opened by default to that machine, therefore most people that rent a VPS can connect through RDP service without much hassle.
Just FYI, if you have a GNU/Linux online server get to know that the alternative to RDP is called SSH.
PS: Many people call Windows VPS "RDP", but this is a wrong definition. Windows VPS has the RDP Service activated and "available" by default, but they are not RDP if you have understood this explanation.
