Hi,

If you have Wireless card installed in your Windows Laptop then you can create WiFi Hotspot with command prompt.

Step 1: Open Command window as Administrator

Step 2: Enter this command

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=WiFiname key=password

Change Wifi name and password with your own name and password

Step 3: Start WiFi Hotspot with this command

netsh wlan start hostednetwork
