So seems like there is 2 wireless adaptator and one of them seems to work on windows 7 but they don't precise if it's for xbow one or 360.sigh now you understand why i'm so lost, 3 versions of the controller, 2 different adaptator, many software update.I "Fonctionality : usb wired connexion : works on windows 10 and windows 7/8.1įonctionality : connexion via wireless usb adaptator for windows : works on windows 10 and windows 7/8.1įonctionality : connexion via wireless usb adaptator for windows 10 : works on windows 10, doesn't work on windows 7."

Heard that you could play wireless with the There was 3 versions of the controller right ? Does they all work on w7 (圆4) ? So if someone could answer some questions, I would be really glad because at the moment I don't know if it will work or not.
Manually and then microsoft did an update and now it's plug and play on windows 7 like it is on windows 10. There was too much update on this controller so I heard it was impossible at the begining, but then you could with some drivers you would install So I did some researches to know if I could use it on w7 but I didn't really find the answer I was looking for. Problem : I'm still running windows 7 and I don't really want to switch to w10 at the moment.
