      1. Click on the windows icon (bottom left)
      2. Type Project
      3. Click Projection Settings
      4. If you see the message "Add the "Wireless Display" option feature to project this PC" follow these steps:
        1. Click the Optional Features button
        2. Search for wireless display
        3. Install it
      5. Change from "Always off" to On
    2. Do this on your Main Computer
      1. Ensure both devices are connected to the same WIFI
      2. Hold down the Windows key + K
      3. Select the second monitor's name
    3. Done

    Cheers!

    Hi dejvikk

    I am Dave, an Independent Advisor, I will help you with this . . .

    To be able to wirelessly connect your PC to the laptop to use the laptop as a second monitor, both devices must support Miracast

    I will check your hardware for you:

    On each of those devices:

    Open Device Manager (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)

    1

    Expand the Network Adapters section, what is the Make and exact Model No. of the WiFi Card is listed there

    2

    Expand the Display Adapters section, what is the Make and exact Model No. of the device(s) is listed there
