to skip to the method you want to use.
Connecting your Xbox controller
to Windows 10 via USB is a simple process.
With your controller in hand, take a micro USB cable
and plug it into the top of the controller
and plug the other end into your PC.
A message will appear on your desktop
to confirm the device is ready to use.
You can also connect to your PC using Bluetooth.
Open up the windows setting page, then navigate to search.
Type "Bluetooth" and select
"Bluetooth and other device settings."
On this page, make sure
your PC's Bluetooth is switched on.
Take your controller and hold down
the "Bind" and "Xbox" buttons for a few seconds
until the light starts flashing.
Back on the Bluetooth settings,
click "Add Bluetooth or other device,"
then select Bluetooth device.
On the list of devices,
you should see "Xbox Wireless Controller."
Click that option, and your Xbox controller
is now all set and connected.
With the Xbox wireless adapter for Windows 10,
you can connect your controller
without a constant wired or Bluetooth connection.
Take the adapter and plug it into your Windows 10 PC.
On the PC's devices page,
you'll see the adapter appear
once it finishes installing itself.
Now turn on your controller with the center "Xbox" button.
When the light starts flashing,
rotate it and hold the "Bind" button for a few seconds.
On the adapter, press and hold
its "Bind" button for several seconds
until you see a small flashing light.
The adaptor and controller should have both lights
flashing rapidly as they search.
Once the flashing stops,
the connection should be established
and your controller is now set to run on your Windows 10 PC.
