Mirroring your IOS device on your Windows computer also requires using an app, the recommended one is 5K Player but I believe there are lots of softwares out there that can help you achieve the same goal. So once you download the 5K software on your Windows PC. Then you have to locate the control centre (the control centre is basically where you adjust the brightness and volume). Click on screen mirroring, but before you do this you’re going to want to make sure your IOS device and PC are on the same internet connection. Once you click on the screen mirroring icon, you’ll see a 5K player notification on your mobile device and once you click on it, your IOS device is immediately mirrored on your computer.
