Hey there Eduardo,

Thanks for reaching out! I'm sorry to hear about the concern for the Xbox 360 wireless receiver installation CD. Unfortunately, you will need to install the software from the Disc on the Laptop/PC.

Here is the troubleshooting resource for Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows.

Under Step 2 : Install the Wireless Gaming Receiver software

Note: Before you can use wireless accessories with your computer, you might need to install some software on your computer.

To install the software from disc

Insert the installation disc into the CD or DVD drive of your computer.
If the Setup program doesn't automatically start, change to your CD or DVD drive, and then run the Setup program.
Follow the steps in the wizard to install the software. Restart the computer if you're prompted.

Hope this helps.

I had the same issue when I got a receiver from someone without the disk. I installed it on Windows 10 by going to device manager and right clicking on the "unknown device".

From there, I selected the following: Update driver,

Browse my computer for drivers,

Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer,

Show all or scroll down to Xbox360 peripherals,

Then choosing Microsoft on the left box and finding Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows on the right, highlight the option on the right and click Next.

Say yes to any warnings about incompatibility and it should install.

Hope this helps

The drivers is no longer available to be installed from the Microsoft store. However, some third party sites still have them. Example is here https://ccm.net/download/download-14994-xbox-36...
