After “Wireless Display” is installed, select Back to manage your projecting preferences on the Projecting to this PC page in Settings.
On the PC you’re projecting to, launch the Wireless Display app by entering “wireless display” in the search box on the taskbar, and selecting Wireless Display in the list of results.

On the device you’re projecting from, go to the screen mirroring settings (sometimes called cast settings), and select your PC to connect to it. If you’re projecting from a PC, you can also select Windows logo key + K and select the PC you’d like to connect to.
