By the time arrived, WiDi was at the height of his powers. He felt like the king of the boardroom and the master of movie night. People loved him because he made them look like they were living in the future—flicking a finger and watching a spreadsheet or a cat video fly across the room.
One day, a new, younger rival appeared in the kingdom: . Miracast was built directly into the Windows 8.1 architecture. He didn't need special software or Intel’s permission; he was "native."
Are you trying to this software on an old machine, or are you just looking for a modern alternative to cast your screen?
But WiDi had a secret weakness: he was very picky about his friends. To work his magic, he needed a specific Intel processor, a specific Wi-Fi chip, and a very specific set of drivers. If even one "friend" wasn't there, the magic would fizzle, leaving the user staring at a "Connection Failed" screen of doom.
