Use your Windows device as a mobile hotspot

In the Settings app  on your Windows device, select Network & internet  > Mobile hotspot.

For Share my internet connection from, choose the internet connection you want to share.

For Share over, choose how you want to share your connection—over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Wi-Fi is usually faster and the default.

(Optional) Expand the Properties section, then select Edit and enter a new network name, password, and network band. Select Save.

Turn on the Mobile hotspot toggle at the top of the page. 

To connect on the other device, go to the Wi-Fi settings on that device, find your network name, select it, enter the password or scan the QR code, and then connect.

Select the quick settings cluster    in your taskbar and then locate the Mobile hotspot quick action. You may need to select the Next page arrow to get to the second page of quick actions to do this.

Selecting the Mobile hotspot quick action toggles the hotspot on and off. It starts with the default properties, or whatever was last used in Settings.

When turned On, the quick action will display the number of devices connected to your mobile hotspot.

To connect on the other device, go to the Wi-Fi settings on that device, find your network name, select it, enter the password or scan the QR code, and then connect.

To view or manage settings like the network password, or if you have not set up your mobile hotspot yet and need to do that, right-click (or long-press) on the Mobile hotspot quick action and select Go to Settings.
