Beginners • Does Raspberry Pi 5 use USB Gadget Mode to connect to a Windows PC?

Hello;

A friend has a Pi 5 and a Windows laptop
They want to know if they can connect the Pi5 to their laptop to avoid needing to buy additional peripherals.
The reason I ask about USB Gadget Mode is, I found this article whilst searching for an answer.

Also, will the process described by the article work on a Pi5.

Thanks in advance.
Take care
Tim
