Download Latest Miracast drivers for your Windows 10

A driver is a program that controls a particular type of device that is connected to your computer. It is the software that an attached device uses to work with your PC. If your PC originally came with Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, then it most likely has Miracast support. Those who upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 may not have this support.

If your computer does not have support for Miracast, there are other options you can explore. For instance, you can make use of Actiontec ScreenBeam USB Transmitter. This dongle and similar USB transmitters from other manufacturers enable wireless display on Windows 7 and Windows 8 laptops even though they don’t have support for Miracast.

Also, if the display you will project to does not support Miracast, you will need to complete the connection by buying a Miracast adapter for TV. This adapter plugs into one of the HDMI ports on  your TV and makes it possible for your PC to communicate with the display wirelessly.
