# Use your Windows PC as a mobile hotspot – Microsoft Support

[Windows 11](javascript:)

Turn your Windows PC into a mobile hotspot by sharing your internet connection with other devices over Wi-Fi. You can share a Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or cellular data connection. If your PC has a cellular data connection and you share it, it will use data from your data plan.

1. Select **Start** , then select **Settings** > **Network & internet** > **Mobile hotspot**.
2. For **Share my internet connection from**, choose the internet connection you want to share.
3. For **Share over**, choose how you want to share your connection—over **Wi-Fi** or **Bluetooth**. Wi-Fi is usually faster and the default.
4. (Optional) Expand the **Properties** section, then select **Edit **and enter a new network name, password, and network band. Select **Save**.
5. Turn on the **Mobile hotspot **toggle at the top of the Mobile hotspot settings page.**Note: **You can turn on your mobile hotspot remotely if your PC has cellular. To allow your Windows PC to turn on your mobile hotspot, both devices must have Bluetooth and be paired.
6. 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.
