1. Wich pi is best for this? Because the pi2 have connection of 10/100.
2. If i install wondoes 10 on the pi it will work good?

Thanks.

There is no RDP client for Windows 10 Core IoT. The required MSTSCLib.dll is not present on the device and none is available complied for ARM IoT AFAIK.

Windows 10 IoT is not your traditional Windows OS. It can't run programs that you have on your Windows computer because they are compiled for different devices. There is no traditional GUI where you double click to open a program. It is made for developers to make their programs and run them in a Windows enviroment.

If you want to use the Pi as a client, then Remmina will work for RDP to a windows server, although performance will vary depending on the type of graphics being displayed. I don't think it's installed by default, so you'll need to install it using apt-get install.

There's also the thin client project:

apt-get is for Debian, this post is in the Windows 10 IoT Core Forum

Right, but OP wants RDP. So, either the original post is in the wrong forum, or we have to offer a solution which doesn't use Winiot.

Well, IoT forum or not, the OP didn't specifically request that they wanted to use the IoT build (and I can't think why you would want to for this scenario), just would it work, which as people have pointed out, won't.

The question was can I use use the Pi as a thin client to RDP to a windows server, one solution is using Remmina on Rasbian. The Pi will have limitations and rendering full screen video or 3D graphics are not going to work particularly well, but that's a hardware issue, not client OS. Whilst RDP can be more network bandwidth heavy than other protocols, the 100Mb Nic on the Pi is more than capable of handling it.
