    Hi All!

    I am a teacher and my current laptop is 8 years old so I have just purchased a Surface Pro 4. Connecting it directly to the projector (Epson ) in my classroom is easy, I could just use a VGA/USB adaptor. But is it possible to establish a wireless connection? Can I get some sort of 'dongle' which will attach to VGA port on projector to allow me to control display from anywhere in room?

    Cheers and Thanks!!!!

    I'm not sure if a dongle would work on a projector as it would probably require some kind of driver to be installed. (I'm open to correction on this)

    Chromecast would work on project? It just sends a video output - no driver needed.
