I have Windows 10 Home edition, that came built in with my Acer E5-573G-56RG. The problem is that I cannot start hotspot through the netsh
command. The Home edition users aren't allowed to do that. (I came to this conclusion because I tried installing Windows 10 Pro edition and I was able to start hotspot in it).
I desperately need to share the wireless signal that I receive in my University, because only laptops' MAC addresses are registered by them and many times we require access to internet through our mobile phones (mine- Android 5.1.1).
I am seeing if I can bypass the restriction by bridging both the wireless adapters, receive the internet through the built-in one and share the internet through the other. How do I do this?
netsh wlan show drivers
states Hosted network supported as NO for the built in adapter (in Home edition alone) and YES for the USB dongle. How do I modify the command to make the hotspot start from my dongle instead of it saying that it cannot start (from the built-in) one?
Or, preferably, is there a way to remove the restriction and bring Microsoft Virtual Hosted Network adapter in device manager? (Currently it is not seen, even with the Show hidden devices option enabled) (In Windows 10 Home edition).
Also Windows 10 doesn't support AdHoc type hotspot.
Bridging with virtual adapters are explicitly prohibited, see https://superuser.com/questions/682199/bridge-hosted-network-with-another-network
