Is a special MS app required on a Windows 11 pc in order to screen mirror (cast) an iPhone 15 to the Windows 11 desktop? If so, is it available in the MS Store? Free?

Phone Link, it should be in your All Programs list.

It does not appear to be in MS Store.

Phone link does not do mirroring with an iPhone.

There appear to be a number of apps in the Microsoft store that claim to mirror iPhones. I have not tried any of them. Just search for "mirror" in the store,
