(Here ssid is Hotspot Name and Key is your hotspot password you can change this as pre your choice and Key must be of 8 characters)

4.       Type netsh wlan start hostednetwork  (This starts the hotspot)

 Now you can connect any device (Android Phon, Another Laptop etc.) to this Hotspot to Access the internet connections.

  For Stop or Close the hotspot type netsh wlan stop hostednetwork  in CMD.
