You need to put the first laptop wireless in ad-hoc mode and follow these steps:

  1. open the Network and Sharing Center
  2. Set Up a Connection or Network
  3. Setup wireless ad hoc network
  4. Select WPA2-Personal security
  5. When finished, you will receive a notification that the network has been created
  6. Your laptop will now broadcast this newly created wireless network and it will wait for other computer to connect.
  7. Make sure you have set correct firewall mode to share folders.

This activity should not take more than 10 min. Good Luck!
