Request advice for T-Mobile "tethering" Nexus 5 (to Windows 8)

My daughter wants to tether her Windows 8 laptop at college to her non-rooted T-Mobile Nexus 5 without paying a USA T-Mobile tethering fee.

Can it be done?

Googling, I see there are some apps that "claim" to tether, for example:

- ClockworkMod

- PdaNet

- Barnacle etc.

But, calling up T-Mobile, I find we pay for a data plan, but they clearly say we need to pay a "tethering fee" to tether.

Have you tried tethering without a T-Mobile tethering plan? Do you have advice for us?

PS: I don't see a windows8 newsgroup (only windows7).
