Why is my add wireless display missing?

[Windows Central Question]

Add wireless display missing

I purchased a Microsoft Wireless Display dongle, and the thing doesn't work, or at least I cannot get it to sync with my laptop ... need assistance.

I'm running windows 8.0, and I loath with every fiber of my soul 8.1 and will at all costs avoid this horrific upgrade.

Please assist.

Re: Add wireless display missing

Perhaps you might want to check system requirements before making purchases:

Computer/Operating System
All Miracast? enabled Windows 8.1 tablets/laptops/phones and Android devices with 4.2.1 and later. Internet access not required for use.

BTW, as Windows 8 and 8.1 are mostly identical, with mostly just bug fixes, driver revisions for things such as this, and performance enhancements, I am rather perplexed as to why someone would hate one and not the other.....
