    Ahh gotcha, I could always drop (what an odd word to censor!) into a PCWorld to see if they have one hooked up on Monday for you, if you wanted me to check to make sure :D!

    To get it supported the adapter needs to support wifi direct, so an external one which supports it would be needed. I think Linus Tech Tips did a recent video on some external adapters as well

    In theory it should be supported as its a recent model, the CPU would support it and i would be suppprised if the wifi6 thing didnt. if you have one you could check under start -> add a wireless display

    thank you Leostat----I'm on the fence about buying one, and the possibility of adding a wireless monitor would make
    a difference.  If in fact the 895 can't support Miracast, what would be an alternative in a Windows environment?
