my mic works on my laptop i think because the headphone jack and mic jack are combined but on this pc they're separated but i cant hear it even if i plug it into the mic jack

Yeah, you might need a splitter if you have an in-line mic.

Is it possible the your mic as a mute button on it ?

ok so this is the weird thing, no i cannot hear the mic, but when i tap the speakers of the headphones they kinda act as mics i can hear it, but when i blow into the mic i dont hear anything

That will happen if you have a single 3.5mm jack headset or earbud. I'm using earbuds with a line-in mic and the mic won't work if I plug it directly into the mic jack.

Well both way works. USB headsets would just have their own built in sound card.
