One thing I've had to do in Windows (in addition to the firewall change) is uncheck "Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication" (in System->Remote).

There's not much to it. It's the remote desktop protocol that you use to access Windows servers. On Windows you open port 3387 or allow RDP in some other way. (I do almost no Windows, so I don't remember exactly, but I think on servers, there's something in the Windows firewall that you can allow.)
You then install freerdp. There are other things that will work, but this is keeping it simple.
This site gives a brief explanation.

You should be able to google for something like use CentOS-6 (or 7) connect to Windows RDP and find various tutorials.
