Microsoft doesn’t sell the adapter by itself.
Picking from these potential options is the most important step in the project.

(Remember,“fulfilled by Amazon does not guarantee a genuine product.)
In general, we don’t recommend buying these.
On Windows 8 and above, you’re able to simply plug the adapter right into your PC.
A few seconds later, it will be automatically detected and Windows will roll out the drivers.
First, plug your unit into your gear.
We recommend plugging it directly into a port on the back.
If you must plug it into a USB hub, confirm it’s a powered hub.
With the adapter plugged in, navigate to the Windows gadget Manager.
Press the Start button and punch in “machine manager” to access it.
Look under “Other Devices” in the list of devices under the entry for your system.
Right click it and select Properties.
choose the Driver tab in the Unknown machine Properties box and then click Update Driver.
Don’t worry, you don’t actually need any drivers, as they’re already included with Windows.
(On the off chance that yours have gone missing, however, you candownload the drivers here.)
Scroll down the list until you see “Xbox 360 Peripherals”.
On the next screen, select “Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows Version 6.3.xxxx”.
When prompted by the driver update warning, click Yes.
You’ll receive a confirmation that the gear was installed properly.
If you get the error “Xbox 360 Controller for Windows / This equipment Cannot Start.
That’s all there is to it!
