USB - C Networking between 2 PC's (Laptop - PC - Win10)

Title explains prettymuch all of this, apologies as this could be a quite stupid question.

 

I want to use my laptop to get internet to my PC, the ONLY connector I have at hand is USB-C. Both machines are using Windows 10 (Home ver, hopefully MS wont fuck me here).

I am unfamiliar with setting up this kind of system, I am only mostly sure no damage can occur with this type of connection, either no power is exchanged, or my laptop charges throug the PC.

 

I would like to know however, how to setup the laptops internet connection to be shared. And... if it can...

I am assumin that neither device needs specific HW for this to work, with the physical connection being possible, I am assuming this kind of thing to be a standard feature of USB-C.

 

This would be a major upgrade over sharing my phones 4G or Wifi through micro-USB, I believe that my current phone doesn't have the capability, nor the connector, to effectively share the 1GB connection it is capable of accessing in the premises.

If it isn't working absolutely perfectly, according to all your assumptions, it is broken.

USB-C to USB Data Transfer Cable for Mac and Windows - USB 3.0

That's one of the few ways to transfer data.

Unfortunately I don't have time to wait for a cable to ship, if I am unable to do this with a standard USB-C to USB-C cable, I will simply wait to aquire an internet cable. I also wouldn't want to buy such an expensive cable in the first place.

 

A USB-C to USB-C cable is all I have available at the moment.
