Creating and connecting to a Windows workspace

Follow the typical steps to create a research workspace. Make sure you link your user-specific folder (study), or you will not be able to save subsets of data to analyze later.

Select the EC2-Windows-v2 workspace configuration, and select “Research-Fellowship” as the Project ID.

Once your workspace is listed as AVAILABLE, click Connections and then “Get Password”

Use your Remote Desktop Application of choice and the credentials shown in your workspace to connect to the Windows instance. The below example uses Microsoft Remote Desktop:

Once in your Windows workspace, you can access your study(ies) in the Data (D) drive.

When you are finished working on your workspace for the day, please STOP the workspace to avoid incurring excess cloud costs.
