Widi windows 10 display update#
So, you will want to update Windows 10 to the latest to make casting to your TV from Microsoft Edge really easy. One of the newest features is the ability to stream Microsoft Edge (and other apps) to both Miracast and DLNA devices. If you don’t have the latest Windows 10 November 2015 Update, you should get it. Let’s take a look at what you need to do to stream content from your Window 10 device. Once you do this, you will see a standard Microsoft screen with a message that says, “Ready to connect.” All the remaining work is done on your Windows 10 device. Uh, sorry, I haven’t dusted off the back of my TV in a while. Here is how my adapter looks on the back of my TV. Then, change your input source on your TV to the ports you selected for the adapter. To install the device on your TV, all you have to do is simply plug in the HDMI and USB adapter cables into open slots on your TV. Did I mention that it works with Android devices too? For those techies out there, it is also an intel Wireless Display (WiDi) certified adapter, so it works with all those fancy Intel WiDi compatible products out there on the market. But to summarize the device, it uses the Wi-Fi Miracast technology to display everything from your device on an HDTV or Monitor. If you haven’t heard of the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter, you can read more about it here. Since this is a Windows 10 Focused blog post, let’s see what Microsoft has for a solution and then see how Windows 10 supports the device. There are a number of players in this arena: Google, Apple, Roku and even Microsoft, to name a few. However, there are third party devices that allow you to stream content over your Wi-Fi network or via Bluetooth. The ability to stream information to a TV, for example is usually not a native capability built into your TV (though, this is more than likely going to change). It allows them to share the content on a smaller screen to a bigger screen for everyone to enjoy. Streaming with HardwareĪs some of you might already know, being able to stream content from your PC/Tablet/Phone to a large screen for presenting a PowerPoint slide deck, playing a game, watching a movie, viewing pictures, etc. That clarity and insight into the highly anticipated release would free your mind to great new features and power of Windows 10. But, with Windows 10 Shots (this new series of posts), the hope would be that the opposite would happen. I have mentioned in previous posts, with most shots, after about a handful, things will start to get a little hazy. I hope you read my last post, Windows 10 Shots – Game Bar Keyboard Shortcuts. Hey, welcome back to another Windows 10 Shots blog post.
