    In these articles and guides, you will find how to connect your PC to projector a personal computer and start displaying items from your computer to your projector.

    If you have been in a dilemma of connecting your personal computer to your projector for some purpose then you have to follow these guides carefully to start displaying your computer information on your projector.

    There are three methods to connect your PC to projector a personal computer to your projector which are:

    1. Cable connection with window 10

    If you are using Windows 10 then you can Connect Your PC to Projector right away. Start connecting your personal computer screen display to it and I know some will wonder why I mention only window 10 and don’t mention the other windows, this is simply because this is the only popular windows operating system version and about 85 per cent of us are using windows 10 operating system.

    There are three types of cable you can use to Connect Your PC to Projector a personal computer and they are HDMI, VGA and DVI. Most video output personal computers use VGA for outputting displays and videos.

    So if your computer does not have a VGA port then it must have either HDMI or DVI ports and DVI ports is not common and it is very rare to find computers that use only DVI ports. If you already have a Cable to connect which should be in either HDMI or VGA and if your computer doesn’t have either HDMI or VGA then you can buy either a VGA or HDMI adapter to be able to connect your system with the projector.

    So once you already got the cable to fit in your ports either by adapter or through the ports fixed in your motherboard then we have to move into the next step.

    1. On both the computer and projector

    Once you have connected the cable to the computer you have to power on both devices to start connecting it and it is very advisable to off it while connecting it so as to avoid electric shock and electrocuting and stay protected against electricity so once you are done with the switching on and off the device then we have to move to the next steps.

    1. Connecting the two devices together

    Once we have done the above step then it is a must for us to connect both devices together so they can start working and start sharing connections together so, for this reason, we are doing it in the window tab.

    To achieve the connection of both devices we are going to do a step and some processing.

    You have to press the Windows key and ‘P’ then there will be a pop up listing the types of sharing option then you have to choose the display screen sharing option for an external device.

    1. The personal screen only is an option to off any externally connected device and use only the personal computer screen only to display items, if you choose this option then there is nothing that is going to display on your projector screen so it is not advisable to choose this while connecting to a projector.
    2. Duplicate is another option for sharing screen display for projector and this shares everything that is on your personal computer screen to the projector and you will see everything that is displayed in the projector screen on the PC screen also. So if you want to connect to a projector this is the best option for connecting.
    3. Extend option is also an option to display selected part of whatever is on your screen and this is not to share all your computer screens with the projector but some selected parts, once you choose this option there will be a space to drag whatever that is in the screen to the projector. This happens because the option tells your PC to treat it as an extension to your computer screen.
    4. The second screen only is also an option that most people’s uses to display what is on their screen to the projector and there will be nothing showing on the personal computer screen again, some people who use a projector to teach using this option to demonstrate some things like aboard.

    Once you choose the option that fits connect Your PC to Projector then it will be connected successfully.

    1. Bluetooth option on windows 10 Connect Your PC to Projector

    When using this option you have to turn on your computer and the projector and this is the simplest method for window users.

    On your Bluetooth for both devices

    You have to on your Bluetooth for both the computer and the projector and most projector comes with this option now, some projector comes with a remote so if you can’t find the Bluetooth option on the projector you can find it on the remote, once you on the Bluetooth for the projector make sure it is visibility mode and it is paintable once you have done that.

    You move to your computer when you click the Bluetooth option and click the option to find an available Bluetooth device then you will see the projector you click on it and you will be required to enter some passcode.

    So you have to read the manual guide to see the passcode for the projector and once you know the passcode then you enter it.

    Share screen with projector

    What you have to do next is to share your screen with the projector so you have to click the window and P button together to open the sharing option. Once it opens the screen option then click it to choose your option.
