Create WiFi Hotspot without any software in windows 7 and above.

It turns out that in Windows 7 and Windows 8 it is possible to turn a wireless enabled machine into a hotspot that any device can use!

Instructions
1) Run an elevated command prompt (Right Click > Run as administrator) and run the command:
netsh wlan show drivers
Check whether hosted network is supported by your wireless adapter.
2) If hosted network is supported, then we are ready to go forward. Now the next step will be setting the hosted network as your choice.
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=<networkname> key=<password>
Where  <networkname> is your choice of name for your Hotspot and <password>is a strong secure password.
For example
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid="Rajkumar-WiFi" key="FuCkOfFbItCh"
3) Type the following command and start the wifi and enjoy using hotspot. 
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
