☑️ Top 5 Ways to Check if Your Windows 11 PC Supports Miracast
– Reviews News
Windows 11 and Windows 10 integrate the wireless display feature to turn your PC into a bigger screen like a TV or monitor. However, one of the main requirements to use the wireless display feature is that the devices (your PC and the larger screen) must support Miracast.
If you plan to give a presentation or enjoy your Windows 11 PC on a bigger screen using the wireless display feature, you will need to check if your computer supports Miracast. To help you out, we've compiled the best ways to check if your Windows 11 PC supports Miracast.
1. Using the Action Center
One of the fastest ways to check if your Windows 11 PC supports Miracast is through the Action Center. In the lower right corner of the taskbar, click the Network, Volume, and other icon group to open the Action Center. If that doesn't help, read our guide to fix Action Center not opening in Windows 11.
When the Action Center opens, look for a tab that says Stream or Wireless Display. Click this button.
Your PC supports Miracast if it keeps scanning for available screens. However, if your PC does not support Miracast (Picture on the right), you will see a message: “Your device does not support Miracast, so you need to connect an external display with a cable. »
Meanwhile, if you're on Windows 10, you should see a "Project to this PC" option in the projector menu if your PC supports Miracast.
2. Using the Settings app
Another way to check Miracast support is to use the Settings app in Windows 11. Here's how to use the Settings app to check Miracast support on your Windows 11 PC:
Step 1: Press the Windows + I keyboard shortcut to open the Settings app.
Step 2: In the Settings app, scroll down and click "Project to this PC".
Step 3: When you see a screen with more options to configure the wireless display feature, your PC supports Miracast. The screen will look like the following screenshot.
However, if your PC does not support Miracast, you will see this text in red: “This device does not support Miracast reception, so you cannot project to it wirelessly. »
3. Using the DirectX Diagnostic Tool
Windows 11 includes a DirectX diagnostic tool (DxDiag) to help troubleshoot display and sound issues on your computer. You can use this tool to check if your Windows 11 PC supports Miracast. Here's how to use it:
Step 1: Press the Windows + R keyboard shortcut to open a Run dialog box, type dxDiag in the text field, then press Enter.
Step 2: In the DirectX Diagnostic Tool window, stay on the System tab and click the Save All Info button.
Step 3: To save the DxDiag.txt file to your system, navigate to the folder where you want to store it and click the Save button.
Step 4:Open File Explorer and navigate to the location where you saved the DxDiag.txt file. Then double-click to open it.
5nd step : When the DxDiag.txt file opens in Notepad, scroll down and look for an entry called Miracast.
You won't see this entry if your Windows 11 PC doesn't support Miracast.
4. Using Windows PowerShell
If you're comfortable with Windows PowerShell, it can be helpful to quickly find out if your PC supports Miracast. For that, you can run the command in PowerShell. Here's how.
Step 1: Click the Windows search button and type Windows PowerShell. In the search results, click on the Open option for the Windows PowerShell application.
Step 2: Copy and paste the following command into Windows PowerShell, then press Enter:
Get-netadapter|select name, ndisversion
Step 3: Check the NdisVersion column for the number next to Wi-Fi. If your PC's NdisVersion is 6.30 or higher, your system must support Miracast.
5. Using the Command Prompt
The Windows Command Prompt is also helpful in determining whether or not your computer supports Miracast. Of course, the command will be different from Windows PowerShell. Here's how to use the command prompt to check Miracast support:
Step 1: Click the Start button and type System symbol. From the command prompt output,
Step 2: In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:

To confirm if your Windows 11 PC supports Miracast
Here are the different methods to check if your Windows 11 PC supports Miracast.
