I bought a new/used laptop that has not arrived yet. It has a slot for
a sim.

So far it's been fine to just use the phone as a hotspot, but if the
phone were to break, could i just take the sim from my phone, put it in
the laptop and connect to the net without doing anything else?

(One time I rented a bike and fell off going up curb-cut and turning to
avoid pedestrians at the same time. Had the phone on the handlebars to
use its map. Cracked the glass on the phone in 2 long places and 30 pits
where stones hit the glass. Phone still works fine. But next time I
might break it. (Amazingly, I didn't get a scratch or a bruise.)

Maybe. It depends whether the operator applies conditions to the devices
in which it can be used. I've has SIMs which worked in a phone but not in
a tablet, though that was some years ago when data was more expensive and
the operator wanted to limit data usage.

Try it.

Yes, usually this is possible as long as the format required by the
laptop is the same. Sometimes you may need to use an adapter from nano
to micro etc..

I bought a set of those and they should still be in the laptop bag or
suitcase. But I will know before I leave home what's required.

I got the new laptop today, but UPS didn't tell me it came so it sat
outside from 9:45 to 6. (At 10:35 they sent an email that it would be
delivered today before 9. The only email I got from them. But no one
stole it.) I'm waiting for it to warm up inside the house and looking
for an unused piece of desk or table to turn it on.
