This is just the controller. Depending on your desktop set up the wireless adaptor package is just a usb dongle that lets the computer talk to the controller. If i remember correctly if your computer has bluetooth built in you wont need the adaptor. And one more thing xbox games will not run on a pc he would need steam or to buy the pc version of the games. Hope this helps
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Xbox One controller works over blue tooth - if your Windows 10 PC has built-in blue tooth functionality on the motherboard, you're good to go, just need to pair the controller with blue tooth in windows. If it does not, you'll need to buy a blue tooth dongle to get it to connect.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Assuming that your PC has Bluetooth, then yes it will work on Windows 10. The difference between the two is that one includes the adapter for computers that don't natively have bluetooth. If you already have Bluetooth on your PC, then the adapter is not necessary. It can also connect to your mobile phone as a controller if your phone has Bluetooth. No adapter needed for connecting wired headphones to controller, to listen to Xbox sound.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The adapter you get with the package is horrible. Best batter is to buy them separate is the Xbox one that last forever and ever. The other batteries constantly need charging and need to be replace soon.
