Q&A for How to Create a Hotspot in Windows 10

If your PC has a cellular data connection, you can turn your Windows 10 PC into a mobile hotspot by sharing your Internet connection with other devices over Wi-Fi. Select the Start button, then select Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile hotspot. If your Windows PC doesn't support Hotspot feature, you cannot create a hotspot. For Share my Internet connection from, choose the Internet connection you want to share. Select Edit > enter a new network name and password > Save. Turn on Share my Internet connection with other devices. To connect on the other device, go to the Wi-Fi settings on that device, find your network name, select it, enter the password, and then connect.

Your local network or your cellular network has not given you a hotspot. Make sure your PC is connected to your phone.

You could set up a mobile hotspot or try to connect to a local WiFi. On your phone, you can also set up data, allowing you to do these things without being connected.

So basically, this is just a disclaimer that mentions youre sharing your connection over 5ghz instead of 2.4 ghz. Many Smart Home devices like a Google speaker can only function on a 2.4ghz frequency band. Windows, however, gives you the option to switch the band to 2.4ghz so that devices that only run on 2.4ghz can connect to your hotspot.

This is possible to do in every computer that has the ability to connect to Wi-Fi.

Your computer may not have Wi-Fi capability. If your computer cannot connect to Wi-Fi, then it cannot create a hotspot.

This will still work. It allows you to share your cellular connection with other devices via Wi-Fi.
