hi guys ! i have an xbox series 1 controller, for pc gaming. i am currently using an usb c cable, but i want to use it wirelessly with bluetooth. I do not want to buy the xbox wireless adapter, I want to buy a bluetooth dongle, i know the controller is compatible - but with what version of bluetooth? essentially what do i have to do to make this work? (not very good with computers sorry guys)

For best connectivity i would use the official wireless adapter for windows 10. I just use that to connect my headset to pc
