How to Connect and Xbox One Controller to PC ?

Looking to use your Xbox One controller to play some PC games?

Simply plug a microUSB cable into your Xbox One controller and plug the other end into a USB slot on your PC. On Windows 10 , your computer should recognize the controller instantly. On Windows 8.1 or Windows 7, Windows should automatically download drivers and your controller will be ready in a few moments.  Method. 2 Use the Xbox Wireless Adapter. Microsoft has a new standard called Xbox Wireless that's built into a few computers, but there's a good chance it's not built into yours. If you want to connect wirelessly, you'll need to buy the Xbox Wireless Adapter. Plug it into a USB port on your PC and let Windows install drivers. Then, press the button on the adapter, turn your controller on, and press the Bind button on the top of the controller to link it.  Method. 3 Use Bluetooth. You can only use Bluetooth to connect a controller to Windows 10. You must have the newer model of Xbox One controller, as shown in the image below. Enable Bluetooth on your PC ( Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices ), then press and hold the Bind button on your controller for a few seconds to put it into pairing mode.  Note that after you connect your controller to a PC, you will need to re-pair it with your Xbox the next time you use it. You can connect the controller to your Xbox using a USB cable and press the Xbox button to pair. Or press the Connect button on the system ( to the left of the disc tray on the original Xbox One, and on the bottom-right of the Xbox One S and Xbox One X ) followed by holding the Bind button on your controller.
