I can't do a nice video like @dronebot-workshop, but here is what I'm doing...

I've just run through doing this about a dozen times in the last couple of weeks.  If you're hard set about using Windows Remote Desktop, you'll have to use one of the tutorials where you have to install xrdp on the Pi.  In the OS Bullseye (one back from current) they have built-in support using VNC Server (nothing to load) expecting us to use the free version of VNC Viewer on our Windows boxes.  It works about the same as Windows Remote Desktop.  I've had no complaints.  

Also, the process seems to now be in a state of flux since the RasPi5 is such a different hardware beast that it has broken a lot of things.  The newest OS Bookworm no longer supports VNC Server and has gone to something more obscure and less mature.  https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=357582

As my primary target is a Raspberry Pi Zero-W and Bookworm will not run on it, I've backed up to using Bullseye anyway.  Setting up headless on it is pretty simple, even for the case where you have to use headless during the install phase and don't have ethernet (Pi Zero W).

1. I'll assume you've done some installs before and don't need a "press this button with pictures" for every step.
2. Use the Raspberry Pi Imager.  I have v 1.8.3 
3. Select your Raspberry Pi Device
4. Choose OS:  Pick Bullseye Desktop or Full
5. Choose Storage:  pick your SD - If you want something fancy... like SSD, Dongle or boot over ethernet... I can't help you.
6. Hit Next
7. At the Use OS customisation? (sic) dialog, select Edit Settings
   1. Fill out all sections.  I like not having to use Pi, raspberry. 8281  
   2. On services tab, Enable SSH and Use password authentication
   3. Save... and back at sic, press YES to Would you like to apply OS customisation settings?
8. Install loaded SD into RasPi - It'll take a while before it lets you in depending on your RasPi's speed and SD size.  At least 3 minutes for my Pi-Zero and RasPi4.
9. Connect using some kind of SSH terminal.  I typically use PuTTY, but I understand Windows Power Shell will work also: SSH <computer name> -l <user name>
10. Once in run:  sudo raspi-config
11. Change the following items:
    1. Display / VNC Resolution : to your desired screen resolution.
    2. Interface Options : I3 VNC : Enable
    3. Finish
12. Probably should do:
    1. sudo apt-get update
    2. sudo apt-get upgrade
13. Reboot if it tells you.
14. Install and run VNC Viewer - https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/
    1. To setup a connection, File / New connection...
    2. Fill out VNC Server:
    3. Name (friendly name) 8282  
    4. All the rest of the defaults will work fine.
15. Double click your new entry 
16. It'll prompt you for saving a certification (just to confirm you're talking to the computer you think you are) your username, password
17. Should get your desktop.
