Xbox One Controller for PC Bluetooth with no Xbox dongle

[MitchMuiz]

I have a Bluetooth dongle, will it accept my Xbox One controller?

xbox one controllers do not use bluetooth. which is why you need the dongle

only if you have purchased the latest version of the xbox one controller. There have been 3 versions so far, the first two do NOT include bluetooth. https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Controller-one/dp/B01GW3H3U8/ref=dp_ob_title_vg

Also, it will only work by bluetooth with Windows 10 Anniversary, which appears to be an intentional move by Microsoft to force Windows 10 down our throats. I had this same issue and since I use Windows 7 I went with a PS4 controller instead as it can connect via bluetooth to any PC with bluetooth capability (even with a cheap 10 year old bluetooth dongle). I can confirm it works with every game I have tried, either natively or using DS4Windows.
