Windows 10: Missing "Connect" App on Windows 10 Pro N

Good Day All, I have been trying project my new desktop to my old laptop that runs on a Windows 10 Pro N. Under Settings/System/Projecting to this PC, it shows that my device does not support receiving Miracast, and I can't project to it wirelessly (image as attached).

I've done some research and have made sure of the following:

1) I updated all my drivers and my laptop is Miracast Compatible (checked using dxdiag)
2) I updated my Windows 10 Pro N version to 20H2 (Oct 2020 update)
3) Since I am using N version, I have installed the latest Media Feature Pack through adding optional features function.

I have read that to get the Connect App, I have to add "Wireless Display", but it is missing under adding optional features.

I tried following steps listed here: https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/163342-manual-install-microsoft-ppiprojection-when-its-missi..., but I was not able to get the Connect App installed.

I suspect that this is due to my Windows 10 Pro N installed instead of any other non-N versions of Windows 10.

Can anyone advice me on how I can use my laptop as a 2nd monitor either by using MiraCast or any other alternatives? Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Windows 10 Pro N to Windows 10 Pro

I have an activation key for windows 10 Pro but I accidentally installed Windows 10 Pro N, I know it is probably simple and I am just dumb but can someone walk me through the steps of going from Pro N to Pro.

 

Installing Windows 10 on Lumia 920

I have a Lumia 920 mobile phone.
Found a list on the net with compatible phones that support Win 10. Mine is on that list.
Can't upgrade with the usual way.
Found help on this official website of developers for Windows Phones. It's a step by step no brainer thing. Most people are doing it. Except me. I can't get past point 6. HOWTO: Install Windows 10 for Phones on Non-supported devices (and other hacks)

"6.Connect to the same WiFi that your PC is on. Edit the settings for the WiFi connection to turn on the Proxy and set it to use the PC’s IP address and enter 8877 for the port "

7. Open Internet Explorer on your phone and navigate to http://[pc.ip.add.ress]:8877 where [pc.ip.add.ress] is the IP address of the PC running the WPInsidersHacks app
No idea what this means.I guess i need to access the router and modify some settings in there. Some guy on the forum told me " think he means to use the local IP address of the pc. Go to cmd and type ipconfig and look for ipv4 address. Should be somethin like 192/......"

I did connect my phone as always via wi-fi to my router. But i have no ideea how to use that proxy or how to make my phone have the same Ip as computer. I did start WPInsiderHacks app on pc. This is what it looks like




Theres also this official Windows Phones
It says this :
1. Download the Windows Insider app.
Press ... > about > make sure Sys free space is 300MB or more.
If there isn't enough space, make full reset with Windows Phone Recovery Tool.

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn:7777

Download and install certificate.
3. Edit WiFi connection, enable Proxy

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn
7777

4. Open Insider app, click get builds
5. You will get Enroll page, do not Enroll yet!
6. Switch to WIFI settings, turn off proxy.
7. Switch to Windows Insider app and now you can enroll for Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Choose Fast option.
8. Check Settings > Phone update.
If it can't find updates, you may need to reboot your phone and enroll again (without a proxy now).

Same thing with the proxy. Anyways the more detailed steps on the DEV forum are much better i think .Cuz they put out more info on how to do it.

Can anybody help me with step 6 ?

 

Windows 10 Pro N app store cache may be damaged.

It would be best if we investigate further so we can find the root cause of the challenge. Kindly answer these questions:

• What is the build version of your Windows Pro N?
• Have you tried updating it to the latest version?
• Do you receive any error messages when trying to use the apps?
• Which apps are affected?
• Are they compatible with Windows Pro N?
• When did the issue start happening?

We'll be waiting for your response.
