Windows 10 comes with a hotspot feature that lets you share your internet connection with other WiFi-enabled devices without installing a third-party Wi-Fi hotspot creating software. After Windows 10 Anniversary Update, Microsoft has made it even easier to create and manage hotspots.
It is useful for those who are still using old data cards, in which a WiFi hotspot facility is not available.
