Yes we have an IT guy that installs programs on the school computer as us grad 
students don’t have root privileges. Do I need to have screen installed on both 
the school computer and my home computer?

Hi, so it's relevant to him to install Screen(if it's not already the case)

Yes I know that Linux is an operating system just like Windows. My current 
setup is that I have Windows at home and am not looking to change it.

So sad :-(


 My advisor said he uses Screen to look at his desktop.

It's impossible. He's jaming everything or "desktop" means something else than usual in your area.

I have been able to get to the part of installing Screen where I’ve ran “make” 
but not sure what to do once it is installed.

"Make" isn't sufficient to install, you only compiled it, and it's not the good way to do it. We're not in the 1990s anymore. Programms install themselves by packages for more than 15 years in all big Linux distros by now.

How do I open it up? Is there not a graphical interface? Is it just command 
line? If so, how is that any different than just using ssh? I need to be able 
to see visually what is on the screen at school.

And about SSH: so we suppose it's installed on the school's computer and the appropriate keys fully set up?
