Hello,
You can directly connect Raspberry Pi to your laptop with the network cable.
The first video about setting up a Raspberry Pi device with Windows Iot Core in the official document is a good starting point.

Or If you have a home network with a router that is configured to automatically assign IP addresses to devices on the network, Just plug in your Raspberry Pi and computer into the same router.
