Windows 10: Looking for External USB WiFi adapter that supports Miracast

My PC (latest Win10) is connected via ethernet, and doesn't have wi-fi internal or any adapters. I want to miracast to a surface pro 2. What adapter or dongle should I get to allow it to cast to the SP2? Most of the adapters talk about receiving the signal, but none talk about sending or casting, or mention having Wifi direct. Would any adaptor serve my purposes?

I am currently using Intel Wireless-AC 7260 together with my Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter (MWDA) and it works really good, but i am not sure if every Wireless adapter has Miracast support.

How to get PC to support Miracast?

Miracast is not the same thing than Intel WiDi. All my laptops for instance support Miracast allowing me to cast to one of my two Microsoft Wireless Display Adapters on two different TVs, yet not a single one of my laptops supports WiDi.

Miracast has also nothing to do with CPU, it's a feature in modern wireless WiFi Direct network adapters (list of WLAN adapters supporting Miracast). Additionally the display adapter must support Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) (almost all modern display drivers support it).

For laptop buyers there's a simple "rule of thumb": If the laptop came with Windows 8.1 pre-installed, its WiFi adapter supports Miracast. This is not a factual rule per se, it's just that those laptops manufactured mid 2013 and later usually have WiFi Direct wireless network adapter. Windows supports Miracast starting from version 8.1.

Desktop owners without built-in WiFi adapter need to check that adapter they get is a Wi-Fi Direct CERTIFIED Miracast device.

For laptop users like me Miracast is really practical, allowing use of more than one external display. In fact, Edge browser I am using to browse the forums and type this reply is at the moment on an external display connected with Miracast.
