That’s right, starting with the Anniversary Update, Windows 10 users with WiFi connection can quickly and easily enable the hotspot feature, sharing Internet connection with up to 8 other devices without any 3rd party tools involved.
Here is what you need:
- A Windows 10 device runs on the latest Insider Preview Build or with the Anniversary Update installed (which has to wait until August 2, 2016).
- A WiFi connection. But the connection you are sharing can be a wired, WiFi, or cellular network.
If your PC still runs on the stable release of Windows 10 or not even on Windows 10, check out these eight tools that turn your Windows PC a WiFi hotspot.
To enable the WiFi hotspot, go to Settings → Networking & Internet → Mobile hotspot.
Select the network connection you want to share and enable the “Share my Internet connection with other devices” option.
As you can see, Windows 10 provides a default SSID and password option which is pretty difficult to use and remember. To edit, just click Edit button to put in your own network options. Just don’t forget to turn the option on again after the change.
That’s about it. You can find and connect to the new hotspot from your other WiFi devices whenever you want. Just make sure you disable this feature when you are done with the sharing.
You can also check what devices have connected to your hotspot in the Mobile Hotspot settings app as well.
