Now you might be wondering about how to mirror Android to PC. Don’t you worry, as we are here to let you know. Here’s how you can mirror your Android’s interface to your Windows 10 PC.

1. Mirror Android to PC through a wired connection

It’s obvious that we all prefer wireless connections. Nobody likes making wired connections but mirroring Android to a PC through a wired connection gives you much more control. With this method, you can actually control you Android smartphone right from your Windows PC, which makes it a lot more handy. So, here’s how you can do it:

Note: Some Computers will need ADB drivers to start the mirror feature. You can download ADB drivers here.

We came across many apps claiming to bring the mirror feature wirelessly but most of them failed to work. If you haven’t rooted your device and still want to mirror your Android screen to a PC, Mac or Linux system, TeamViewer is your best bet. Here are the steps to do it:

  • Download TeamViewer Desktop client and TeamViewer QuickSupport Android app from the Google Play Store.
  • Open the QuickSupport app on your Android device and note your ID.

AirDroid also offers an AirMirror feature for non-rooted devices which, as the name suggests, ets you mirror your Android interface to a PC. The app claims that the feature also works wirelessly, after you’ve allowed USB Debugging on your Android device by connecting it to the PC with a cable.
