Create a Mobile Hotspot on a Windows 10 PC

In Windows 10, you can broadcast your WiFi, Ethernet, or cellular data connection with other devices by creating a mobile hotspot through the Settings app.

Steps

  1. Open Settings.  Press the Start button and then the Settings gear on the lower-left hand side of the menu.
  2. Click or tap the Network & Internet section.
  3. Select Mobile hotspot from the left pane.
  4. Choose your settings.
    • Select which connection you want to share under "Share my Internet connection from".
    • Press the Edit button to change the hotspot's name and password.
    • "Turn on remotely" automatically turns on the hotspot if both devices (PC and that device) are Bluetooth-enabled.[1]
  5. Toggle on the slider next to "Share my Internet connection with other devices". Other devices will now see your hotspot and connect to it provided the correct password is entered.

Warnings

  • Broadcasting your cellular data connection might cause your data to be used up if you're on a limited plan.
