PC via mobile hotspot (mobile phone) to connect to the Internet?

I wanted to ask if it is possible to use my computer to go online via my mobile hotspot (mobile phone)? So can I connect my computer to my phone's hotspot?

I have Windows 7 Home Premium on my computer if that's relevant. Because I find nowhere in the settings something, where I would have to select the network. With my laptop (win10) it goes without further ado.

Does my computer have a Wi-Fi card?

That's fine.

Simply activate the hotspot in the mobile phone and then connect the PC via WLAN

You just have to create a hotspot on your phone and then go in via Wlan setting on your PC.

I do not know, where can I look it up? And how do I get into these wireless settings to select my hotspot?

How do I get into this wireless setting, where I can choose my hotspot?

bu

You can find it in the task bar

Under Network Settings is:

set up a new connection or network
connect to a network
Select homegroup and sharing options
solve problems

when I click on the 2nd just a window that I'm currently connected to a network

Then it does not work

Yes, this inquiry is crucial.

Desktop PCs rarely have an integrated wireless adapter. If he has no integrated WLAN adapter, you can buy a wireless USB stick and put in a USB port on the PC, then the PC has Wi-Fi.

BUT! If the PC is already connected via LAN cable with an Internet router, you can save the cheese with the WLAN on the desktop PC also. LAN is the best for Internet access on a desktop PC.

Thank you for your answers!

I'm just asking, since I'm moving soon and I'll have no LAN connection there anymore.

And thanks for the tip with the wireless USB stick.

I hope you realize that the PC and laptop strained your "mobile data volume" heavily. Hopefully you have an unlimited internet flatrate, or bought enough data volume.
