Networking over RDP on a Mac?

I recently obtained a mini PC (N100 running windows 11 Pro) and I have been a lifelong user of Mac Computers. I have my PC configured to run Carveco Maker, gSender, Carbide Motion and Carbide Create amongst other things. I can access all of the CNC related software over Microsoft’s RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) from the Mac. I would like to be able to wake the Win computer from its sleep mode, using the Mac.

I understand that something in the Windows computer world that is named Wake on Lan is the means to achieve this. My reading suggests that it may be a setting in the BIOS but I have not seen anything labelled as ‘Wake on LAN’. My lack of knowledge about the Windows computer environment is stopping me from blundering about in the BIOS settings. Does any forum member successfully use a Windows PC from a Mac? With respect to RDP would some user kindly point me in the right direction? TIA
