Using laptop as second screen

I want to use my old laptop as second monitor for my PC. Yes, the PC does have a wi-fi+bluetooth card (intel 9260), which supports miracast. I'm not sure for the laptop adapter number, its a broadcom one, but it also supports miracast. I've tried both "netsh wlan show drivers" and dxdiag to make sure. But for some reason I don't get the "Project to this PC" option on either one. The PC is on LTSC 1809 and the laptop is on LTSB 1607 if that matters, also drivers are up-to-date.
