I have two laptops and I would like to know how (if possible) to get remote control over Ubuntu's desktop from Windows (preferably Windows 10), but without additional networking equipment, for example through ad-hoc network.

Purists would install OpenSSH on the Ubuntu computer and use PuTTY on the Windows computer, in order to establish a terminal session, command-line style. – rclocher3 Dec 01 '16 at 18:21

Install any RDP software to use in remote. For example XRDP. – BDRSuite Dec 01 '16 at 18:24

How would the two computers communicate with each other, but without networking equipment? – Caturday Saint Dec 01 '16 at 21:36

@Service Manager it is possible to connect two laptops using cable (point to point connection), so I suggested that may be there also way to do this wireless (through wi-fi or bluetooth) – R S Dec 01 '16 at 21:41

It is possible to connect them to each other via an ad-hoc network, but I'm curious why you're foregoing a router/switch. – Caturday Saint Dec 01 '16 at 22:11

The fastest/cheapest way is by using Teamviewer. – heynnema Dec 01 '16 at 22:46

There are several programs to do this GUI side, but I recommend Synergy.

Another alternative for seeing the other screen is teamviewer. Its not what most developers would use, but suitable to use another computer remotely or through network.

1Synergy only allows the use of a single keyboard and mouse on multiple computers. The video is still tied to its respective monitor/computer. – heynnema Dec 01 '16 at 22:46
