Hello,
What you could do is the following:
Setup a new Ubuntu droplet with enough resources
SSH to the new droplet and run:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo apt-get install xrdp
systemctl enable xrdp
3389
port is open:sudo ufw allow 3389/tcp

Then you can use any RDP client to connect to your server with your new account.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
