There is a “metered connection” setting in Windows 10. See: http://www.groovypost.com/howto/manage-windows-10-data-usage/

I know longer have to worry about Windows hassles...went Mac about 4 years ago (hassling with Windows became too much after 20 years...at my age you just want it to work, no tinkering needed).

Thanks, that metered connection setting sounds like exactly what I was looking for.

Unforunately, the tethered connection appears to the computer as an Ethernet network rather than a wifi connection. Ethernet connections don’t appear to support the metered option.

Eureka!!

I can set my phone up as a wifi hotspot and connect my computer to the internet through that connection. Since the computer will see the phone as a wifi connection, I should be able to designate it as a metered connection.

Thanks to both of you for your assistance.
