Of course you can use your pc or laptop - a web server is just a piece of software, and it can run on (almost) any hardware.

You need a... webserver :) Yes, it is free. You can use Apache for both Windows and Linux: https://httpd.apache.org/ . Or, on Windows platforms, you can use the included IIS. Be warned, however, that webservers can be difficult to configure - unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing, do NOT make that webserver publicly accessible!
