Can I use a Greater Power Adapter?

I have this laptop and my power adapter is giving me problems and my friend has one with the same connector but it has 19.5 V when mine only has 18.5 V, they both have 65 W output and mine has a 3.5 AMP output where his has an 3.33 AMP output, so basically would i be able to use the 19.5 V 3.33 AMP laptop power supply on my laptop that uses a 18.5 V 3.5 Amp Power supply?

Answer this question I have this problem too

@cam2363 you most likely can do that without any issues, but you should always replace power adapters with like adapters. The 1V 017A difference are mostly negligible
