Use Connectify

http://www.connectify.me/

It also supports wpa/wpa2 psk

You can run that on your windows 7 laptop and enable the soft ap features of windows 7

Alternately you can look at the below tutorial to enable windows 7's hotspot features

don't use connectifi if using i3 or other 64bit processor, ur system will crash. – None – 2011-07-14T15:34:01.140
