DirectX 11 Getting description of Graphics Cards

I am trying to iterate through the available GPUs on my system and print a description of each out onto the console. I have the code for retrieving them but I can't figure out how to get the description.

std::vector <IDXGIAdapter1*> availableAdapters = EnumerateAdapters();

for_each(availableAdapters.begin(), availableAdapters.end(), [](IDXGIAdapter1* adapter) {
    auto myAdapter = *adapter;
    auto adapterDescription = new DXGI_ADAPTER_DESC1();
    myAdapter.GetDesc1(adapterDescription);
    // Print description to console here
});

I am getting a compile time error pointing to the auto myAdapter = *adapter; line though which says error C2259: 'IDXGIAdapter1' : cannot instantiate abstract class

I am using DirectX 11, Windows 64bit, and Visual Studio 2012. Thank you for your help!

try

auto& myAdapter = *adapter;
auto adapterDescription = DXGI_ADAPTER_DESC1();
myAdapter.GetDesc1(&adapterDescription);
