How to organize direct connection of Raspberry PI and laptop?
There is a laptop with Windows 10 connected to the Internet via WiFi, there is a Raspberry PI 3. How can I connect Raspberry to a laptop directly without a router via Ethernet. The Raspberry has a fresh OS and only the first boot. SSH must be up. I don't know anything else about IP or other data. If it is possible in more detail how to do it?
PS: The answer to the question "there is nothing to do?": I live in a student hostel, and the Internet is provided via WiFi through an access point.

For the laptop, configure an address from the 169.254.0.0/16 subnet. Then, 5 minutes after turning on the raspberry, use something like nmap to scan this subnet. RPi will most likely respond to some address. This is a special subnet from which devices use addresses if they do not receive a response from DHCP, rfc3927.
Or pick up DHCP on the laptop and see what address is issued to the raspberry. No idea how it's done on Windows. It is possible to install some kind of openwrt virtual machine and combine the physical ethernet with the virtual machine with a bridge.
