I have an i5-2500k, and Intel deemed it too old to update the drivers to support WiDi. WiDi support, if I remember correctly, falls in with how old your processor is. So you are correct, a computer needs to have WiDi support to be able to support Miracast. Hope my hours of reading and sifting through stupid replies like the one above helps somebody.Hey, OP here. Hope my hours of reading and sifting through stupid replies like the one above helps somebody. However, the easiest way to get screen mirroring is to buy a Chromecast. If you're like me and don't even see the option to add a wireless display, then you have only ONE option to get Miracast working on your computer, and that is you must purchase a Miracast TRANSMITTER (not a RECEIVER, a TRANSMITTER.) Search for Miracast transmitter on Amazon or Google, and you'll get a number of dongles or packages for purchase.
Apparently the only stupid way to check is to try to project your screen (Win+P.) If you see "+ Add wireless display" CONGRATULATIONS! Your computer supports WiDi. If your computer is like mine, upgraded from Windows 7 to anything higher (probably Windows 10 now, like mine) your computer is likely NOT to support WiDi. Will probably be my only post on this forum. I know this is a really old thread, but the question isn't answered very well out in the internet, so I thought I'd answer it definitively here. I registered JUST so I could help with the general idiocy surrounding this with people who just do not understand the question.
