    Zsigma,

    Are you trying to find the drivers for the Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver? If so, then the drivers are built in to Windows 10, and should install automatically when you plug the adapter into a USB port. If you are using an earlier version of windows, then
    the add new hardware wizard should start, and find the drivers.

    PCs require the adapter in order to use a 360 controller, as the controller uses a custom wireless format.

    There are instructions to set up the receiver and controller here: https://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-on-windows/accessories/xbox-360-wireless-gaming-receiver-windows

    Good Luck!

    Hey there Gantz2006.

    Depending on your OS, you should be able to install it through the included drivers. Please take a look at the

    Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Troubleshooter     and let us know if that helps you correct your driver issue.

    Gaming Receiver doesen't work (HEELP)

    Windows has most of the drivers for Xbox controllers and wireless receivers already, but sometimes you need to give it a bit of help.

    Try this method: Open your device manager and double click on the receiver with the yellow mark on it. Then select the Driver tab and click on "Update driver". Next, select "Browse my computer for driver software" and then "Let me pick from a list of device
    drivers on my computer". Then scroll all the way to the bottom and look for "Xbox 360 Peripherals". Select that and then choose "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows".

    Install that and you should be good to go.

    360 play and charge kit on PC/Windows RT

    There is no controller driver to download for Windows 8 because the driver is already installed as part of the Operating System. This applies to both the Desktop version of Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 8/8.1RT for Windows Surface Tablets.

    If you have a wired Xbox 360 controller, just plug it in, it will work straight away. For wireless controllers you still need a wireless gaming receiver. And yes, the receiver does work with Windows 8RT.
