Sure. To connect to. a Windows instance using noVNC, here's a rundown:

1. **Set Up VNC Server on Windows**: First off, you need a VNC server running on your Windows machine. TightVNC or RealVNC are solid choices.

2. **Find Your Windows IP**: Note down your Windows machine's IP address.

3. **Set Up noVNC on Another Machine**: Grab noVNC (it's a web-based VNC client) and set it up on a different machine. You can use GitHub to clone it or just download it.

4. **Run WebSockets Proxy**: noVNC needs a WebSocket to connect. Run a WebSockets proxy (like websockify) to bridge the gap between noVNC and your VNC server.

5. **Connect Through Browser**: Open your browser, hit the noVNC client, punch in the IP and port of your Windows VNC server.

Tthis is kinda high-level. If you hit a wall, dive into the docs of VNC, noVNC, and websockify. Also ensure your network's secure when you're doing this.

Hello, I'm wondering the same thing. Some advice on how to set up noVNC on Windows would be great (step 3).

Or does the Windows instance only need the VNC server running. Is there not a way to use a Windows machine to connect to another Windows machine in the web browser using noVNC?

I'm going to try it using npm and node. Will post here if I get it working without too many complications.

You need a provider who is giving Novnc to connect their servers.
