(I believe Google is essentially pushing customers to Chromecast here.) With the 6P, I can see all of the Chromecast devices in my home. Researching this, I see that the Nexus 6P is not included on Google’s list of Miracast-compatible devices, though older Nexus devices do make the cut. To test this, I fired up my Nexus 6P and … nothing. It’s worth noting, too, that Miracast works with Android as well. Again, this wasn’t working well for me, because Insider program. This provides a two-screen experience where you see a Windows 10-like desktop on the connected HDTV and your normal Windows 10 Mobile UI-or, that trackpad-like screen-on the phone. With a compatible Windows 10 Mobile handset, you can of course use Continuum-in fact, have to use Continuum-rather than the old remote display capabilities we had with Windows Phone OS (and still have with lesser Windows 10 Mobile handsets). You can use the Connect tile in Action Center to utilize the HDTV connected to the adapter as a secondary display, and you can use the Project pane (WINKEY + P) to determine whether that second display duplicates what’s on the built-in display, extends that built-in display, or replaces the built-in display. Testing with my Surface Book, connectivity is fast and reliable. In the meantime, and with the exception of Windows 10 Mobile, for which I think we can blame quirks in the Insider builds, the new Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter works as expected. But Rafael has theories about how Microsoft might be enhancing (even extending) Miracast with this new dongle, so we’ll see how that pans out. As you may know, Rafael maintains the definitive list of Miracast adapters, and the original Microsoft adapter is still the best choice. But that’s why this is a “first look” and not a review: I need to let my Windows 10 Field Guide co-author Rafael Rivera get his hands on this thing and find out what Microsoft really changed under the covers.
