Since my laptop microphone is not that good, I bought a headset with a microphone. However, my laptop only has a jack socket, not a microphone. So can I use the microphone on my headset or do I have to rely on the microphone in the laptop? And if the problem can be solved, how?

You need an adapter that brings both plugs of the headset back together to one connection.
For example:

The headset only has 1 connector

Then it should fit - what kind of laptop is it exactly?

A Hp Pavilion 15 cw1xxx, the problem is that the plug fits, but I only have audio playback, no microphone

The manual says:

For connecting optional stereo active speakers, headphones, earphones, a headset

or the audio cable of a television set. Also for

Connect an optional headset microphone.

Optional devices that only consist of a microphone,

are not supported.

NOTE: When a device is connected to the socket

the computer speakers are disabled.

NOTE: The device cable must have a 4-pin

Connector that has both an audio output

(Headphones) and an audio input (microphone)

supported

i would say the plug on the headset does not fit. Or you put it in the wrong way, not deep enough. I've seen that before. Press a little to see if it clicks into place again.
