Hi! I'm not a gamer! Set Up an Xbox 360 Controller for Windows | Xbox Live
I think WC has a gaming section!:grin:

Yep, plug and play. If you don't have a wired controller, then you MUST have the wireless receiver for Windows. *Wireless will not work without*the special receiver.

The new Xbox One controller will work with a play & charge kit wire, or you have to get the wireless adapter for Windows here: https://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Xbox-Wireless-Adapter-Windows/dp/B00ZB7W4QU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1486408178&sr=8-2&keywords=xbox+one+wireless+adapter
