How to cast my Android phone to PC in Windows 11?

Please note the built-in Cast feature in Windows 11, while convenient and free, has several limitations that can hinder its usability. One of the main drawbacks is its dependency on Miracast compatibility. Both the Android phone and the PC must support Miracast for the feature to work, which excludes older devices or certain models that lack this technology. Additionally, Miracast is not as universally supported as newer casting standards like Google Cast, which limits the feature's adaptability across a broader range of devices.

Another significant downside it comes with is that has limited functionality compared to third-party solutions. While it allows basic screen mirroring, it lacks advanced features like file sharing, screen recording, or extended display modes, which are often available in third-party apps for casting Android to Windows PC. What is more, the process of enabling the Cast feature and setting it up can be unintuitive for less tech-savvy users, requiring multiple steps and settings adjustments.
