    [SOLVED] Can't project desktop monitor onto laptop as a second screen even though my bluetooth is correct

    Yep. Did all that. Given I've followed everything to the tee, I'm thinking Gam3r01 is probably right; the laptop may not support this setup. But thanks!

    [SOLVED] Can't project desktop monitor onto laptop as a second screen even though my bluetooth is correct

    Still doesn't work. It can't detect the desktop monitor. I tried it the other way around as well and the desktop can't detect the laptop.

    [SOLVED] Can't project desktop monitor onto laptop as a second screen even though my bluetooth is correct

    Actually you're right. I've been calling it bluetooth but I guess you guys called it Miracast. I can't get the PC to connect to the laptop when I hit Windows sign + P and select an option. This is my desktop settings. And this is my laptop. My MSI laptop is only a couple years old so I imagine...

    [SOLVED] Can't project desktop monitor onto laptop as a second screen even though my bluetooth is correct

    There are multiple tutorials on how to use bluetooth setup. But how do you extend wifi via a cable? Because I tried doing so and it doesn't work. I would connect the hdmi cable from the desktop monitor to the laptop. But the laptop would just extend itself onto the desktop monitor. Instead, I...

    Question Am I installing my new RAM the correct way?

    Bought 8GB of new RAM to double my RAM capacity. It's the same exact make and model. Unfortunately, my entire computer would freeze and I get this screen message when I played my games. Apparently, I also need to go into the BIOS and make adjustments. From what I can tell, I need to adjust the...

    Question My speakers make a crackling static noise

    My speakers make a crackling static noise when I browse the internet and I'm listening to music on Youtube or Spotify. I know it's not the speakers as I just bought a new set and they make the same noise. They're both using a jack as opposed to usb. It happens when I'm playing music on Youtube...

    PC isn't connecting to internet despite all other devices working

    I read the sticky thread and I'm not sure what else to add? Another symptom is that when I wake up the PC up from Sleep mode, the PC doesn't' detect any Wifi options whatsoever. So I have to restart the PC again which may or may not work. It's very erratic.

    How to best transfer data from a large drive to a smaller drive

    Hmmm...I guess I may need to just buy another 1TB hard drive to make this process easier. But before I do that; -So it sounds like imaging takes up less space than cloning? -What's the general compression ratio of imaging? I'm curious to know how much space my hard drive would need if not...

    I need to reinstall Windows 10 on my SSD. As such, I have to transfer the data from it to another drive temporarily before transferring it back. The temporary drive does not have as much space as the SSD. It's 900GB of data vs 200 gb. Should I be cloning or imaging the transferred data? Or is...

    I see Bitdefender has a promo for all 3 of their software ($25), Antivirus, Internet Security, and Total Security. I can't tell if TS includes everything from Antivirus and Internet Security?

    My PC was restored to a point from 2 years ago [SOLVED]

    So apparently, one of my SATA connectors connected to the wrong socket so it created this issue. Once I was able to connect it to the right socket on my MOBO then everything was fine. It's so confusing trying to keep track of what goes where inside!
