How to Screen Mirror Laptop to TV on Windows 7

Screen mirroring allows you to display your laptop's screen on a larger TV, extending your workspace or sharing content with others. Here's an in-depth guide on how to screen mirror your Windows 7 laptop to your TV:

1. Check Compatibility

Ensure that both your laptop and TV support screen mirroring. Most modern TVs have built-in mirroring capabilities. For your laptop, it must support Miracast, a wireless display protocol.

2. Connect to the Same Wi-Fi Network

Both your laptop and TV need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This ensures they are within range and can communicate efficiently.

3. Enable Miracast on Windows 7

On your laptop, navigate to:
Settings > System > Display > Connect to a wireless display

Click on "Add a wireless display". Your TV should appear in the list of available devices.

4. Connect to Your TV

On your TV, look for the "Screen Mirroring" or "Connect" option. This may vary depending on your TV model.

Select your laptop from the list of available devices. A connection request will be sent to your laptop.

5. Approve the Connection Request

On your laptop, a notification or prompt will appear asking for permission to connect. Click "Allow" or "Yes" to approve the connection.

6. Start Screen Mirroring

Once the connection is established, your laptop's screen will start mirroring on your TV. You can now enjoy extended viewing or share your presentation or videos on a bigger screen.

7. Adjust Display Settings (Optional)

From your laptop's "Display" settings, you can customize the mirroring experience. You can choose to duplicate your screen, extend your desktop, or set up different display modes.
