    How does one know if their PC comes with WiDI?


    Since I can't seem to get my HDMI connection working any time soon, how would one know if their Pc comes with WiDi? I have an Asus Essentio CM1745 with Windows 7 and it was recent buy.

    Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
    This one shows 1 hdmi port
    ASUS Desktop PC CM1745-US007S A8-Series APU A8-5500 (3.2 GHz) 8 GB DDR3 1 TB HDD Windows 8 - Newegg.com
    It would be odd for a desktop not to have at least 1 built in hdmi port :)

    JasonBlake456, from my experience, Widi does not come w/ Win 7. Must be Win 8. You will need external hardware to achieve the same functionality which Widi provides.
    What is it you are trying to accomplish?

    My Asus laptop came with WiDi and it's Win 7 , it's a few years old though.

    Didn't mean for that to happen , i know essentially nothing about computers compared to you guys . I never have used the WiDi capability though.

    When i had the laptop apart you can see a big WiDi plug in part on the motherboard , wonder if that could be removed , i don't know i'll just leave it alone.

    jonnyhillow, what do mean by big WiDi plug? Was it a socket for something to plug into or was it a chip/module of sort?

    From the op's model this seems to be a be a desktop,
    Most desktops I've ever seen do not have wifi capabilities so this widi stuff would need a special pci-e card/ usb or otherwise to function or stream :/
