You just SAVED my day! I was trying to connect my laptop to an old desktop which we haven't used in a long time. Only to find out that the manufacturer never finished the HDMI port, and we didn't know about it the entire time owning the computer. I was going to give up and wait until the day I could afford to buy a new monitor. Then I came across your tutorial! It worked right away! Thank you so much for taking your time to create this video 🙂

[@bigdamnhero2297]

no bs just straight to the point, loved it!
Thanks

[@dabossdgoat3708]

I love this guy, my dad and I were tryna figure this out and I was about to give up until I found this. Great video!

[@ranger6447]

Awesome! Finally, someone who explains the first steps, the setup process. Thank You.

[@ranger6447]

Just wated to add that I had been struggling for weeks not knowing how to setup the first necessary steps needed in Windows Settings. All videos I watched did not explain it like you did, only showed the Connet, Project, etc. but NOT the first crucial steps needed to make it work. Thanks Again for taking the time to help others and the GREAT VIDEO.

[@debbiecraig1636]

Can't wait to try this. I was led to believe I would have to purchase a secondary monitor (only) specifically to connect to my laptop. Great tutorial.

lifesaver man I was suffering thanks to you finally had dual monitor.

[@stumbleine20]

ugh, your video is a lifesaver! thank you for sharing your skills!

[@vans2548]

Thanks for the last section, was really wondering about the latency for things like conference calls and streams on a second device, and the lagginess would definitely be a problem there. I imagine it would also eat up some bandwidth since you're basically rebroadcasting to another device.

[@lopumol]

Was it laggy or problems at the end?

[@ash_deol]

Just awesome explanation 👍 Thnx a lot

[@cathlynbautista1276]

Does the monitor have to be windows 10 or you can use it on windows vista monitor as your 2nd monitor?

[@ImportRandom0]

hey well this works but I cant get audio to work. any ideas how to fix it?

[@generic007-28]

Can this be done with a dual monitor setup? effectively making the laptop have 2 extended displays?

[@ienethluvlogs]

thankx

[@maxconville679]

Where it says Connect to a wireless display on the windows P part, the actual 'connect to a wireless display' Is not there. Any way to fix this?

[@vaibhavvarshney7819]

[@angi6545]

i managed to use my laptop as an extended screen for my desktop but the laptop is extremely laggy. it freezes and any app i try to display on it is extremely glitchy. please help

[@vidyuthk]

I need help for some reason i did add the wireless display but it still says my device doesn't not support miracast

[@Injinct]

Also any way to make use of any camera or usb connected to the wireless monitor

[@vapor6]

FINALLY MY LAPTOP CAN BE USED!!!!!!!!!!

[@chezburgergaming7515]

Wh I try to drag a app to the 2d it does not drag into it. I have to make it peek barely to the second and drag the rest on to the rest of the second. And btw why when I do extended I do not see anything on the second monitor on the task bar? Is there s fix or do I have to deal with it.

[@slincessDev]

thysm

[@morelukeplayz6953]

I fullscreened but my mouse on my 2nd laptop shows and doesn't disappear, is there a fix to this?

[@Injinct]

Works good but any way to make the connection better? It is really lagged

[@DefiyVR]

my secondary computer wont allow me to add the wireless display

[@M7thic]

When you said gaming we can still game on original monitor right?

[@eimantasme]

My computer has the ability to run miracast, but it isn't supported wirelessly. What should I do?

[@Kingskidsx5]

HI. This worked really well. But at end of day I shut down computer. Next day i had to reconnect again. Is there anyway you can leave it as a permanent connection rather than reconnect everyday. Thank you for your instructions. You dumb it down just nicely for me :)

[@aniketrajak1378]

Thank u bro for helping us but I am having a problem
Related connecting
Can you figure out what is happening and not connecting my two system

[@davidbanks7389]

Is it possible to buy just a monitor with wireless features and turn it on and connect my laptop to it? Or does the monitor gotta be all in one or come with a system unit

[@Longngao]

I think the answer is yes. You can buy the Microsoft 4k wireless display dongle (only HDMI), plug it into HDMI port of monitor or TV. And connect through the wireless display feature.

[@dcharles2809]

Can this be done with a Windows 10 desktop and a Windows 11 laptop? I completed the desktop setup, but I'm having trouble connecting my windows 11 laptop, thanks for your reply...

[@gc2925]

hi, is there any way of me doing this without my pc being supported by miracast?

[@ethancrump700]

hey it seems i cant install "Wireless Display" is there anything that i can do to let me do it?
