Yes, it's possible. You must arrange the setup so the PC remains connected when switching between connections—adjust the priority to balance them. For example, when using WiFi and then connecting via Ethernet, the system usually switches off WiFi automatically.

yes and no. the problem is that windows will always use one connection as the 'default'. you'd need <probably some piece of software> to direct traffic from specific applications to specific places. my best guess on how to do this is to make either steam or the browser run trough a proxy server.

You're aware that on your HP laptop, you can switch between low-priority internet use and high-priority connections via a wired setup.

Generally, this involves creating separate subnets for each network. When both Wi-Fi and wired connections share the same subnet, it functions as a backup system. Unless you're linking to distinct networks for a specific purpose, opt for the wired connection. For higher bandwidth needs—such as upgrading to 2.5GB or 10GB—your ISP is likely the main constraint.
