Here we’re going to walk you through the steps necessary to be able to get an Android device display to show up wirelessly onto a Windows 10 PC using Connect app. Think of this as a extension of that, this time bringing in smartphone display casting support to Windows 10 PCs. If you have installed and are using the recent Windows 10 Anniversary Update, then there is a chance that you’ve managed to come across the new Connect app that Microsoft has baked into the platform. That new app exists as an extremely easy way to connect the installed PC to other external devices wirelessly, which means that it gives us an incredibly easy and efficient way of being able to cast the display of an Android smartphone or tablet directly to a new window on the PC.Īnd that’s not it as it even lets you use your keyboard or mouse or touch screen to interact with your smartphone right from PC’s display, meaning it’s not just mirroring of the display! As you might remember, Microsoft had a similar feature introduced for HDTV’s back with Windows 8 whereby you could cast your computer’s display wirelessly to a supported HDTV using Miracast. This feature is also supported to work on Windows 10 Mobile and Windows Phone 8.1 devices.
