If you came to Windows 10 directly from Windows 7, you might have noticed that ad hoc Wi-Fi (routerless) connections are no longer available. The user interface for setting up an ad hoc connection does not exist any more in the Network and Sharing Center nor in the Settings app. However, there is a way to make your Windows 10 PC behave like a wireless access point/hotspot.
