How to Create Wi Fi Hotspot on Windows 7/ 8/ 8.1/10 Using CMD (Command Prompt)
Instructions below will show you how to turn a computer into a WiFi hotspot without using a third-party software that may likely eat up memory even after it is closed. Any machine running Windows XP and up, including Windows 7/ 8/ 8.1/10 Preview, will work using commands below.
What You Should Do :
Step 1: Hit the Start button, and type "Command Prompt" or "cmd" on the search box. If your computer is based on Windows 8, you'll need to press the keyboard's Windows logo key to switch to the system's Modern UI Style and type "Command Prompt" or "cmd." Run Command Prompt with admin rights. To do that, right-click on the Command Prompt icon and select "Run as administrator."
step 2: Type "netsh wlan show drivers" (without the quotation marks) in Command Prompt to check whether or not your computer supports a hosted network. The "Hosted network supported" field should indicate "Yes" if your unit supports WiFi sharing. If it says "No," you'll have to download the corresponding driver for your WiFi adapter first before proceeding.
Step 3: To create a hotspot, type "netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=yournetworkname key=yournetworkpassword," and hit Enter on your keyboard.
Remember, "ssid" refers to the WiFi hotspot's name while "key" is said network's password. You can also use the aforementioned command to change the hotspot's name and password.

netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

the WIFI is close.
