Why is my laptop not even detecting WiFi but connects with my mobile's Hotspot? My phone connects to the wifi and works well. But my PC can't even detect the WiFi let alone connecting and working. It is windows 8.1 Toshiba.

The weird thing is that from what I hear, it doesn't sound like your laptop is THAT old. Did you have Windows 8.1 when your laptop was brand new? Try updating your device drivers. If you have WiFi for a few hours, you don't need to download the entire Driver Pack. Use the online version which is only a few megabytes. Search "Driverpack online" Also, why don't you upgrade to Windows 10? Windows 8 and 8.1 are a nightmare! I'd rather downgrade to Windows 7.
