Does anyone know if I can use Splashtops feature for turning on my computer from a remote location?

Should be no problem. You just need to activte WOL(wake on lan) in bios and in windows. Here is a guide from them : https://support-splashtop2.splashto...o-I-perform-Wake-on-LAN-with-Splashtop-2-WoL-

So I can't find anything like that in the bios. I've read a few things about setting ports and something about pci.... any thoughts?

It seems that you need to disable EuP 2013 and in Wake Up Events enable the option Resume by PCI or PCI-E Device. Then continue the guide.

K...so I've done the PCi thing

What's this MAgic PAcket business?

A magic packet is a some data that will tell your computer to power on.
Now check that your network card has "Allow this device to wake the computer" enabled (it's in the guide). After that test it if it works.
