Hotspot connection between iphone 11 & HP laptop

Hi, I am able to connect my HP laptop to my iPhone11 via Hotspot however my laptop says "no internet connection". Both devices show they are connected however I am unable to browse the internet.


I have tested both my iPhone & laptop with other devices and they work perfectly, it is when they are "Paired" that I am having a problem.


Please assist in resolving this frustrating issue.

iPhone 11, iOS 13
