Thanks for your help guys. @cereberus and @NavyLCDR - I want to mirror the screen, i.e.. use my tv as a monitor (its not a smart tv but made smart by connecting it to an android box), My idea is to browse files from the desktop, explorer and other apps on my laptop but looking at my tv screen. I would like it as if the laptop duplicated screen on the tv as if the two were connected via a HDMI cable. With that being said. is it possible to connect my tv (bearing in mind that its connected to an android box) as a wireless monitor. The laptop has Bluetooth and so does the android box, the laptop Bluetooth does pick up the box. but I cant figure out what to do from there. I go to the the project setting. choose duplicate and then connect to a wireless display. A connect side box pops up and it cant find my device (I think this is where the android box is blocking it somehow). Since it doesn't find my device I choose where is my device and a webpage opens about fixing Bluetooth connections. In the side box. if I choose find other types of devices the settings page for Bluetooth opens and I can see my android box but I don't know what to do. So I think it is possible but I don't know how to accomplish it.
Its a LG tv
Its an Ematic AGT419 android box

I have figured it out, I used Edge browser (a few months ago I switched over from Chrome). In the Edge browser I go to settings>more tools>cast media to device, then I select my source (desktop) and then my device (my android box). Not sure how to choose these settings for source and device because I always needs to stop casting and then re-enable casting for it to work. Then I minimise Edge and I can see my desktop and browse my laptop. If I close Edge the casting stops, while it is casting there is a thin yellow border around the laptop screen.
But is there another way possible, would be interesting to know and would undoubtedly help others.
For mirroring to TV, I would buy a chromecast dongle and connect direct to tv. There are plenty of chromecast apps in MS Store to mirror pc to TV. Going via a dongle will have much lower latency issues than indirect via an android device. All my main tvs have a Chromecast dongle.
I have rarely had success with Casting from Windows 10 to my smart TV so for years have used my Samsung Android Tablet and Chromecast.

Installed the new Edge Chromium the other day and was wondering, is it not possible to cast to a Chromecast yet? I have tried many times and it cannot find any of my devices as to where Chrome finds them all. Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to mirror my laptop on my Roku, which apparently is a thing I learned today. I've connected in W10 settings and allowed the Roku to mirror my HP Spectre. I see my desktop on my television screen, along with the taskbar at the bottom. But...
After upgrading to Windows 10 from 7, I can no longer seek while casting a video to my tv. My tv is a Samsung 55c-8000 which under Windows 7 "Play to", I was able to use my remote to seek and fast forward or rewind. Now under Windows 10 "Cast to...
