what software do you use that enables you to link your laptop to a tablet via wifi?
Laptop or chartplotter?

Conectify makes my laptop a virtual wifi hub, which allow the tablet to connect to the laptop whilst still having internet access.
Real VNC makes the tablet a repeater of the laptop and allows the tablet to control the laptop, should you wish.

I don't do anything clever - I just bluetooth files between machines.

For file transfer i just plug the tablet USB charging cable into the laptop. Connecting them in other ways allows different operations. For instance, the repeater. I can set my laptop up with OpenCP with AIS and set the tablet as a repeater and it all looks identical.

That's nonsense, I'm afraid. The bugs are still there, they're just not getting fixed. Maybe ok on a navigation laptop that's always standalone or on an isolated network, but if any of your customers ever connect it to the Internet (even just by deciding to make use of a marina's free wifi) then with an unpatched Windows (any OS really, but especially Windows) they're at risk of getting pwned.
