Display desktop on non-smart TV

[braxx201]

My objective is to display and hear whatever is on my computer -mainly ZOOM meetings and videos from various sources to my non-smart TV

I am finding confusing suggestions on this.

One was to connect via HDMI. I did that, got the blue opening Windows screen but without the desktop icons displayed. It also had no sound AND I lost the sound on the PC and had a DEVIL of a time getting it back (speaker icon had a red X next  to it- getting my sound back was so complicated I don't even remember how I did it!)

SO I would prefer it if I could use Chromecast or Roku, preferably the former. Can't find out if they will allow me to do that

I have W 10  but HOW do I find out if my comjputer (HP Slimline 290-a0011)  has a "wireless display adapter that supports Miracast"?

@braxx201

I understand your concerns.

I have checked the specification of your computer.

Your product support  Wireless LAN 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (1x1) and Bluetooth 4.2 M.2

• Interface: M.2

• Transmission standards: 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac

It should support Miracast.

Have a nice day!!
