   This post is cross-posted to both alt.comp.os.windows-11 and   
   alt.os.linux to increase my chances of getting an answer.   
      
   Some of you may have read that my HP 6730b Dual-boot Win7/Linux Laptop   
   has died/is dieing so I've resorted to this HP Win-11 Desktop that I am   
   tring to get up and running.   
      
   However, in updating the Win-11 OS and all the bits and pieces of this   
   HP 24-cr0002a 24 All-in-One N100 8GB/256GB Desktop Computer, I've used   
   up all my monthly Data allowance ..... which doesn't get renewed until   
   about 20 Feb so, until then my download speed is limited to about 35kB/sec.   
      
   However .... (as I was trying to drift off to sleep last night), I   
   thought "What about if I use a PrePaid chip (like I use in my   
   Mobilephone), could I connect via the chip in a USB dongle (after   
   disabling my Wi-Fi)??"   
      
   Back in the day (2000 - 2010'ish), I used to connect via a USB dongle so   
   it must be possible ....   
      
   But, then I thought .... If I can connect like this using a chip in a   
   Dongle .... when I connect my Mobile Phone (via USB to9 recharge my   
   phone) to my Computer can't I effectively use my mobile phone, using   
   it's Data allocation, to do my Web Browsing??   
      
   Is this what 'they' call "Tethering"??   
      
   If so how, on this HP Win11 Computer, do I disable Wi-Fi and then enable   
   USB Tethering??   
      
   TIA.
