Can I use a different adapter for my laptop?

The short answer is; No. You should never intentionally use another laptop’s charger on your laptop.

As long as the voltage is the same on the adapter and on the device (also, I have 9V DC and 9V AC adapters, do not mix these up) and be sure the current required is less than the amount that the adapter can source otherwise you risk overloading the power supply.

Can I use 65w charger instead of 45W?

Also, some adapters and devices will have voltage and current switching or detecting features that will adjust the output/draw depending on what’s needed.

Can I use a 19V power adapter for a 19V laptop?
