In the event that it's indistinguishable plastic from the guard catches, with a crease between the Guide catch and the substance of the controller, it's a non-Bluetooth gamepad.

Bluetooth Pairing

Blending the Xbox One controller with your PC over Bluetooth is nearly equivalent to matching it with your Xbox One. Power on the controller by holding down the Guide catch, at that point hold the Pairing catch on the highest point of the controller down for three seconds until the point when the Guide catch flashes.

 This implies it's in blending mode. On the off chance that you're interfacing it to an Xbox One, you, hold down the Pairing catch on the framework itself, yet for Windows 10 you have to experience a few menus. You additionally require a Bluetooth USB dongle if your PC doesn't have Bluetooth locally available. Here's the full well-ordered process.

2. Hold the Pairing catch on the controller for three seconds until the point that the Guide catch flashes.

With a USB Adapter

In the event that you have a more seasoned Xbox One controller, or you simply need to utilize your more up to date one with Microsoft's restrictive remote association rather than Bluetooth, you have to get the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows.

It's a USB dongle intended to interface specifically to your Xbox One gamepad with no Bluetooth setup or blending. You should simply connect the dongle and combine it to your controller similarly as though you were blending your Xbox One, squeezing the Pairing catch on every gadget.

This connector has a few advantages over Bluetooth. First of all, you can utilize something like eight gamepads with the connector, while Microsoft suggests utilizing only each one in turn with Bluetooth. The headset jack is likewise empowered in the event that you utilize the connector, with flexible settings in the Xbox application for Windows 10.

Use It Wired

At long last, in the event that you needn't bother with a remote association, you can simply utilize a small scale USB link. Attachment one end into your PC and the other into the smaller scale USB port at the highest point of the gamepad, and it will naturally introduce.
