“Can I make my laptop a WiFi hotspot in Windows XP”? Yes, you can make your Windows XP laptop, notebook or desktop PC a WiFi
hotspot to share internet connection for Android mobile phones, iPhone, iPad, tablets or any other WiFi enabled devices.

Although Windows XP is not supported by Microsoft any more, you can have it on your computer if you really like it and feel comfortable. There are
3 workable methods to build a WiFi hotspot and use the Windows XP computer as a wireless hotspot access point.

Editor’s Note : A computer needs a working wireless network adapter to help make a WiFi hotspot to share internet connection. Therefore, make sure your Windows XP computer has a working wireless network adapter.
