Want To Cast/Mirror iPhone to Windows? Here's How To Do That

I have been trying to find good software for screen and audio casting content from my iPad and my Galaxy s8 to a Windows PC. I downloaded three programs and tried them on a Windows 7, 32-bit,  1 GB RAM machine. Here was the results:

1. X-Mirage: It worked. I was able to cast from my iPad to the PC. It was easy. They even have a Mac version. It costs $16. http://www.x-mirage.com/

2. 5KPlayer: This one had me really excited because it is free, supports iOS and Android, and it can be used as a media server! Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I think it was because the PC I used is not powerful enough to run the software effectively.   https://www.5kplayer.com/5kplayer-download-windows.htm

3. Airplay Server: I got this one to work. It not only managed to work with my iPad 4 but also supported my Galaxy S8. It costs $19.99. https://www.airserver.com/ 


I think that I am going to go with the Airplay Server because I can use Android and iOS devices and it was easy to use.  I think I might try out the 5KPlayer as a Windows Media Server. I will post more on that later..
