Wireless information sharing between close-by devices is made possible by the technology known as Miracast. It uses Wi-Fi Direct, meaning two compatible computers simply need to be close to one another, such in the same room, in order for it to connect to them. ..
If you are using a Windows 10 PC, it is likely that you are using the Miracast feature. To determine if your PC supports Miracast, we recommend checking the following: -Are you using a Miracast enabled display or television? -Do you have a wireless adapter that resembles a Chromecast device in appearance? If so, it is likely that your PC supports Miracast.
Ways to Check If your Windows 10 PC Supports Miracast
via Connect App
Open the Connect app by clicking the lower-right corner of the screen and then clicking the Connect button.
To test if your PC supports Miracast, open the Windows 10 Start menu and type “miracast.” If you see a list of devices that can be used to cast content to your TV, your PC supports Miracast. If not, you’ll need to purchase a compatible Miracast adapter. ..
Using DirectX Diagnostic Tool
To open the DirectX Diagnostic Tool, go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK\bin\Debug If you are using a 64-bit operating system, go to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft DirectX SDK\bin\x64 Once you have opened the DXDiag tool, click on the “Graphics” tab. There are a few things that you can do from here. First, make sure that your graphics card is properly installed and configured. Next, make sure that your drivers are up-to-date. Finally, try running some of your games in compatibility mode. ..
In the System tab, click Save all information button to save all the collected information to a text file.
If Miracast is not supported, then you can open the DxDiag.txt file and scroll down to the bottom to see what it reports for Miracast to see if it’s supported or not.
Using the setting app
Open the Settings app by pressing the Windows + I keys shortcut.
In the Projecting to this PC dialog, enter the name of your computer and click on the ‘Create’ button. The Projecting to this PC dialog will now appear. In the ‘Computer Name’ field, enter the name of your computer. In the ‘Location’ field, enter your local area code and click on the ‘Create’ button.
When you see a screen with more options to configure the wireless display feature, your PC supports Miracast. This means that you can use your phone to watch TV shows and movies on your computer.
If your computer doesn’t support Miracast, you’ll see this message in red: “This device doesn’t support receiving Miracast, so you can’t project to it wirelessly.” ..
Final Words
Windows 10 supports Miracast, which is a wireless connection method that allows you to connect devices without a USB cable. Miracast is often used to connect laptops, tablets, and smartphones to displays like monitors, TVs, and projectors. Therefore, Miracast is often considered as “HDMI over Wi-Fi.”
