    AA> What exactly is the result of the command on the Win7+ pc?   
      
   So I looked up the command again.  From you cmd prompt, its   
      
   netsh wlan show drivers   
      
   One of the last listing results will be "Wireless Display Supported."  With   
   your computer supporting that, you can use Miracast.   
      
   The Microsoft required ZERO drivers.  It just plugged in and worked.  You do   
   have to go to your settings menu and enable wireless display, but other then   
   that, it worked.  There is an AP you can download that literally has just a   
   couple of features to adjust the screen (just in case it doesn't fill it or   
   is slightly right or left,) and to get firmware updates for the device.  I   
   installed the AP and it had a firmare update to do which speed up the device   
   itself(mostly scrolling up and down within a web page, otherwise I haven't   
   noticed any difference, and haven't on web pages since the firmware update).    
   I did not have to adjust my display at all.   
      
   As for your setup, not sure about XP; I have two sitting on the floor next to   
   me I haven't used in years, just waiting to fire them up to get the data off   
   the hard drives and then maybe build them into one 32bit system for the BBS.     
      
   As for my setup, Windows 10, running one monitor out the HDMI port of the   
   laptop, the laptop is a second display, and the Microsoft Wireless Display   
   adapter to the third display.  I enabled "extended" desktop, and it   
   automatically added all 3 as independent displays.  You may need to look into   
   how many wireless displays Windows 7 can take.  I would imagine thats a lot   
   of resources on a video card?  Therefore they may have a hub with it's own   
   built in video card to support more wireless displays.  I can try to look   
   into it for you tomorrow, once I figure out why my stupid HTML page I'm   
   writing for class will NOT hold it's bottom border between div's .... anyway   
   ... It works great and I so much easier on my eyes for 9-5 classes on zoom.
