Windows 10: How Can I Use a Microphone on a Laptop That Doesn't Have a Microphone Jack?

I have a windows 10 laptop. For some reason there's no microphone jack, only a headphone jack and like 2 USB ports. How can I use a microphone when there's no place to connect it? If I have to buy an adapter I'm gonna be so pissed.

Microphone not working with combo audio jack


My laptop only has one combo audio/microphone jack, and I can't get the microphone to work at all. I just bought a new headset that came with an audio/microphone splitter specifically for the purpose of using it on this laptop. While the output works fine, the microphone input is absolutely ignored.

I am 100% positive this is an audio/microphone splitter (and not just an audio splitter) as it has 3 rings on the end of it (indicating that it is compatible with using a microphone), and one of the input jacks even has a microphone icon on it. Realtek Settings are nowhere to be found in Control Panel, and I couldn't seem to find anything in the system sound settings that would help me either.

I've already spent money on this new headset, so as you can imagine I'm pretty frustrated that this is not working, and I really, really don't want to spend any more money. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
