Using PC With Windows 11 With My Phone's Internet

[Hulk]

Is there a way to use the internet on my Win 11 PC by using my phone as a hot spot? I've used my iPad before by using my phone's wifi so was wondering if I could do the same with my PC.

if its got wifi and your cell plan includes tethering/hot spotting, yes.
oh and sometimes you can share it via usb. would need to google if you model supports it.

OK, thanks, I just figured it out, tested it and it works.

Yep, I do this all the time since your own network you're paying for is usually more safe than a 'public wifi' that has who knows what on it.

In the Windows wi-fi settings, you should consider setting it to a "Metered connection", as otherwise you might burn through a ton of data by accident with all the stuff running in the background!
