Bear in mind that Miracast is notoriously finicky and problematic.
Windows 8.1+
If your computer came with Windows 8.1 or Windows RT 8.1,Windows 10, it should support Miracast. If you’ve upgraded an old PC to Windows 8.1, it may or may not support Miracast.

similar applications may need to be uninstalled
before this option will appear.

These options are also available in PC Setting. Click or tap the Change PC settings link at the bottom of the Settings charm to access it. Navigate to PC and devices > Devices. To scan for nearby Miracast receivers, tap Add a device. Miracast receivers you’ve added appear under Projectors on this screen.
Android 4.2+
Miracast is available on Android devices with 4.2 Jelly Bean and newer versions of Android. Android devices do need the appropriate hardware, so your Android phone or tablet may not support Miracast especially if it’s an old device that’s been updated to the latest versions of Android.We performed this process with a Nexus4 running Android 4.4.4.First, open your device’s settings screen that’s the Settings app in your app drawer. Under the Device section, tap Display. Scroll down on the Display screen and tap Cast Screen. (You can alsocast to
Chromecast devices from here, although those
don’t use the Miracast protocol.)
Tap the Menu button at the top of your screen and select Enable wireless display. Your phone will scan for nearby Miracast devices and display them in a list under Cast Screen. If your Miracast receiver is powered on and nearby, it should appear in the list.
Tap the device to connect and begin casting your screen.A notification will appear, providing a visible indication that you’re casting your screen.Pull down the notification shade at the top of your screen and tap the Disconnect button to stop casting your screen
You can also cast from the Quick Settings screen if you’ve enabled the wireless display feature under Cast Screen. Pull down with two fingers from the top of your screen to open Quick Settings, tap the Cast Screen button, and you’ll see a list of nearby devices you can cast to. Tap one to start casting.
If your computer, smartphone, or tablet supports Miracast and you have a Miracast receiver nearby, it should be this easy. Miracast uses Wi-Fi Direct, so the devices don’t even have to be on the same network to communicate with each other.Issues with your home network or router shouldn’t even be a factor. This should simplify things, but Miracast-enabled devices often refuse to work together or have issues with playback glitches and dropped streams even after they connect.
