Mirror Lumia 640 (Windows 10) screen on laptop?

[shikhanshu]

Can I connect my Lumia 640 (Windows 10) to my Windows laptop (with or without an app installed on phone and/or laptop), and get a mirror of the phone on the laptop? And then be able to use the mouse/keyboard to do things on the phone?

I want to spend some time organizing and beautifying my start screen on the phone, and I reckon it will be easier doing it using a mouse on laptop, then pushing and holding endlessly on the phone screen.

Thanks in advance!

Mouse works, but not keyboard. If you have a touchscreen on the laptop that's a bonus. You could also pair a Bluetooth keyboard with the phone first.

Well, when I connect my phone to the laptop (without ProjectMyScreen in picture), it connects fine. I am able to browse through internal and SD memory. I also see "Lumia 640 LTE" show up in Devices and Printers.

But when I installed ProjectMyScreen and connected the phone, nothing happened. I did not get a prompt to "project the screen" on the phone or anything like that. I uninstalled the driver and reconnected the phone. This time, I see "Windows phone" ready to use, but Lumia 640 LTE "driver not found".

Is there any official place where I can download Lumia 640 RM-1073 driver from?

I just plug the phone in and get the drivers from that.

Use this to clear out your USB drivers:

Download and extract View any installed/connected USB device on your system Inside the folder > right click the exe > run as admin

Delete all drivers marked Nokia or Lumia > plug the device into USB and let a fresh set of drivers install.

I was able to get the projection going without usbView.

However, it seems it only projects. I cannot control the device with mouse on laptop. Am i missing something?

For me mouse control only works if the app is not full screen.

I picked up a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard for my Lumia 640. Keyboard has a stand for the mouse, and at times I mirror to my laptop screen while I have the monitor in "presentation mode" with the keyboard flipped behind the screen to make it more of a stand-alone monitor. Works great.

A dumb question - is there a way to connect a Windows 10 Mobile device to another Windows 10 device wirelessly, without any adapters? I played with wired connection but the battery runs out so fast if you're on 17% when you start.
