How to Turn Windows 8 into Hotspot in 2 Minutes

Turning your windows 8 computer into a WiFi hotspot. Basically a WiFi hotspot can share the internet connection from it to various other devices like handheld devices, laptops and personal computers. There used to be a method to convert windows PC into hotspot but which would look complicated and at the end of the day you have to depend on the software such as connectify which would hardly work for someone. But windows 8 is not going to be a troublesome as is very versatile and has already built in configuration to turn it into a hotspot. All we have to do is just giving it a little push. 

Windows 8 into Hotspot in Just 2 minutes

This tutorial that I’m gonna let know is very simple and completely makes your work 100 times faster. Let me start with the procedure without wasting any more time for the introduction.

1) Open up your network and sharing center from the control panel.

2) We are about to share your incoming network connection and so click on the active connection and select properties.

3) Move on to the sharing tab and click on the check box next to “Allow other networks to connect…”

4) We are half done here. Now open your command prompt in admin mode. If you aren’t aware of opening it in admin mode then hit the windows key and type in CMD. Right click on the CMD and windows will provide you an option to run it as administrator.

5) Once you are inside CMD type in the following command

netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=username key=password

6) Replace the username and password with your desired values.

7) Finally type in the following command to start the network

netsh wlan start hostednetwork.

8) The above code triggers the network to share the incoming connection from your computer. Anyone can access your network now just by connecting to your shared network.

9) Remember to turn on your WiFi else you might end up with some errors.To turn of the network execute the code netsh wlan stop hostednetwork

10) I’m attaching a screenshot of the command prompt window here for your easy reference.

Conclusion

I had come up with this tutorial in order to make use of the inbuilt feature that windows has instead of wasting money on purchasing products and software for turning your computer into an WiFi hotspot. I hope you have gained something out of this post and even if you think the same share your love by sharing this post.

10 Tips To Make Your Laptop Battery Last Longer

1. Turn off Wi-Fi and BlueTooth - Most laptops have shortcut keys to instantly disable wireless networking.

2. Don't play computer games, music or DVD movies - Multimedia activities drain laptop batteries.

3. Disconnect all external device like PC Card modems, Firewire, USB devices and optical drives. Use the notebook touchpad instead of an external mouse.

4. Adjust your screen brightness - Dimming your display saves battery power. 

5. Tweak Windows Power Options - Choose a Laptop power scheme that turns off the notebook monitor and hard disk after 10 minutes of inactivity.

6. Decrease or mute the Laptop Speaker Volume.

7. Turn off all scheduled tasks.

8. Turn off Auto-save features in Microsoft Office and other applications.

9. If your PC has a built-in wireless card, turn it off or disable it when not in use.

10. Programs that are run from a CD or DVD can be copied to and run from the hard drive, which typically consumes less power than an optical drive.

Looking for the longest battery life laptop ? Actually, many factors affect the amount of time that a laptop battery can deliver power before it must be recharged. 

How to extend laptop battery life? Here are some more tips to improve your notebook's battery life:

1. If you do not use your laptop for extended periods of time (a week or more), remove the battery pack from the laptop. 

2. Do not expose the battery to high heat or freezing temperatures. Do not leave your battery in your car in the summer. Hot batteries discharge very quickly, and cold ones can't create as much power.

3. Make sure to plug your laptop charger adapter into a UPS and not directly into a power outlet or surge protector.

4. If you have a nickel-metal hydride battery, completely drain and recharge the battery once a month to maximize its capacity to hold a charge.

5. Fully charge new battery packs before use. New pack needs to be fully charged and discharged (cycled) a few times before it can condition to full capacity.

6. For laptops that work as Desktop Replacement, the battery should be re-installed every 3-4 weeks and allowed to fully discharge.

7. Leaving a battery in a laptop while using an electrical outlet for long periods of time will keep the battery in a constant state of charging up and that will reduce the life cycle of the battery.

Battery-saving sleep modes: Should I use Stand By or Hibernate

Standby mode

Use standby to save power when you will be away from the computer for a short time while working - your monitor and hard disks turn off, all applications and open files are stored in RAM. When you want to use the computer again, it comes out of standby quickly, and your desktop is restored exactly as you left it. 

Hibernation Mode

Use hibernation to save power when you will be away from the computer for an extended time while working - your computer shuts down to save power but first saves everything in memory on your hard disk. When you restart the computer, your desktop is restored exactly as you left it. 

When you choose Start, Turn Off Computer in Windows XP, your options are Stand By, Turn Off, and Restart. To Hibernate, place the cursor over Stand By, then hold down Shift and click.

Change your screen resolution of PC/LAPTOP

To change your screen resolution

1. Open Screen Resolution by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, and then, under Appearance and Personalization, clicking Adjust screen resolution.
2. Click the drop-down list next to Resolution, move the slider to the resolution you want, and then click Apply.
3. Click Keep to use the new resolution, or click Revert to go back to the previous resolution.

Screen Resolution in Control Panel shows the recommended resolution for your monitor.

Native resolution

LCD monitors, including laptop screens, typically run best at their native resolution. You don't have to set your monitor to run at this resolution, but it's usually recommended in order to ensure you see the sharpest text and images possible. LCD monitors generally come in two shapes: a standard proportion of width to height of 4:3, or a widescreen ratio of 16:9 or 16:10. A widescreen monitor has both a wider shape and resolution than a standard ratio monitor.

If you're unsure of your monitor's native resolution, check the product manual or go to the manufacturer's website. Here are typical resolutions for some popular screen sizes:

• 19-inch screen (standard ratio): 1280 x 1024 pixels
• 20-inch screen (standard ratio): 1600 x 1200 pixels
• 22-inch screen (widescreen): 1680 x 1050 pixels
• 24-inch screen (widescreen): 1900 x 1200 pixels

For more information, see Getting the best display on your monitor.

Notes

• When you change the screen resolution, it affects all users who log on to the computer.
• When you set your monitor to a screen resolution that it won't support, the screen will go black for a few seconds while the monitor reverts back to the original resolution.

This tip applies to all the Office apps, but we've illustrated it with PowerPoint. You can control exactly what categories of information any Office app displays on its status bar. Right-click on the status bar, and turn on or off the features you want to see. At the right edge of each item in the menu, you see the information that would currently appear on the status bar if that item were enabled—for example, the name of the visual theme used in the presentation currently opened.

How to disable Windows 8 Lock Screen

Windows 8 is the latest version of Microsoft’s user friendly OS and though a lot of people have started using it, and though it is pretty user friendly incorporating simple to understand language, some users may be embarrassed to admit they can’t get a handle on it. Admittedly it does involve making adjustments through searches of its settings, and for that you need to know what to search for.

And on top of that Microsoft has provided a lot of security features. And you can’t blame them since malware, as well as spyware problems like key loggers are running rampant in PC’s and leaving them unlocked at any moment may have its repercussions.

However, there are always exceptions to every security threat. If you are working at home or in a secured office and are sure that no one is accessing your system then the extra steps you need to put in to resume your work where you last left it off can be annoying. All you need to do is disable this feature then so that your password will not be required. As said earlier, it can be difficult to figure windows 8 out if you just aren’t that entirely tech savvy.

So if you wish to disable the lock screen that comes up after the system has gone to sleep, then here is how you can go about disabling the ever annoying Lock Screen in some easy steps that just about anyone can understand.

1.  When the Windows 8 Startup screen appears, type ‘users’ in the search field. From the results, the Settings option will show up which you need to click.

2.  Through the search results, the option of users under Settings will appear. Click on this Users option to get to the Users Settings Screen.

3.  Once the new screen comes up, you need to scroll down and click on the Change Button. The Change button will be located right under the label ‘Any User Who Has A Password Must Enter It When Waking This PC’.

4.  After clicking the Change button, a confirmation screen will come up which will ask you whether you are sure that you want to disable this feature. At the bottom of this notification will be an OK button. Click that to go ahead with the disabling.

5.  Once you click OK you will be brought back to the Users Settings screen. To know that you have changed your settings, the text above the Change button will now read ‘Any user who has a password doesn’t need to enter it when waking this PC’.

Now your system will no longer require a password but if you wish to re –enable the feature you can follow the steps again and make the changes in the same manner.

Of course, it is always a better option to keep this feature enabled when you are traveling or have a lot of unknown people around your system. Turning it on and off may be annoying but it is truly always better safe than sorry.
