Using a TRRS microphone with my laptop

[susypeti]

I have a recent Pavilion x360 model, and I was thinking of upgrading my microphone with a Rode SmartLav+ mic that has a TRRS jack connector. However, I couldn't really find any information on what type of jack my laptop has. I did see somewhere that if a headset is plugged in to the jack, the speakers get disabled. Now this would be an obvious problem if the laptop sees the TRRS mic as a whole headset, and disables the speaker. 

So the two questions are:

- Would I be able to make the mic work with my laptop?

- Could I make the speakers work with the mic plugged in?
