# Make your first connection

Sign in, select an available host and open your Windows session.

## Before you start

You need a PrimalDesk account, an enrolled Windows host and a browser supported by the current beta. Keep the host running and connected to the network.

## Open Workspace

1.  Sign in on the [PrimalDesk website](https://primaldesk.com/profile/sign-in).
2.  Open [Workspace](https://workspace.primaldesk.com/).
3.  Choose a machine from **Available hosts**.
4.  Review the connection options and select **Connect**.

Workspace uses the same account session as the main website. You do not need a separate Workspace account.

## If the list is empty

Check that you signed in to the account that owns the host, or accept an invitation from its owner.

## End your session

Use the disconnect control in Workspace when you finish. Closing a browser window is not the same as signing out of your PrimalDesk account.

This guide describes the current development and testing phase.
