Connect PC with wired connection to laptop router

$

I have a desktop PC which doesn't have any wireless capability, so I'd like to connect an ethernet cable from my PC to my laptop (Sony Vaio Duo 11) which can pick up the wireless connection from the modem/router which is downstairs.

My PC is Windows 8, and my laptop is Windows 8.1.

I try to go into Network and Sharing Center, and then I click "change adapter settings", but then my wireless connection doesn't show up, even though I'm connected to the internet. I've attached images.

If I connect my laptop to my PC with an ethernet cable, on my PC it shows "network 3" but it says "connection limited" and that there is no internet access.

How do I make it so I can use internet on my PC using my laptop to wirelessly connect to the modem?

(Forgive me for any noobishness)
