First, open the Network and Sharing Center from the list of available Wi-Fi Networks.

Click the “Manage Wireless Networks” option at the left side of the window to see your saved Wi-Fi networks.

Use the Properties option in the right-click menu to select a specific network.

Click the “Copy this network profile to a USB flash drive” link and Windows will prompt you for a flash drive.

click over to the Security tab in a network’s properties window and click the “Show characters” check box to view its password.
