    Microsoft Surface 2 cannot connect to 360 using Smartglass

    Smartglass is also not working for me in Windows 8.1. I am using a Lenovo Yoga. I am able to connect to the 360 from my Windows phone Smartglass app, but I am not able to connect with the Windows 8.1 app. I am NOT trying to connect to the 360 with both apps
    at the same time. I close the windows phone app before attempt to connect with Windows 8 Smartglass app.

    At first I thought the issue may have been a public connection. At some point my home connection was set to "public," but I removed the connection from the command line using "netsh wlan delete profile='my wifi'" and reconnected making it a private connection.

    The computer sees the xbox as a "play device" as well under settings>PC settings>PC and devices>devices, so the computer is able to communicate with the Xbox. This leads me to believe the issue is some kind of bug.

    DirectX 12

    The Xbox One won't be able to use DX 12, only new PCs that are running Windows 8.1.

    360/X1 Compatibility

    It would be like installing some game designed for Windows 3.1 on a Windows 8.1 PC. 360=3.1 and One=8.1 to be clear. MS, as stated by Eggnogga, is working on an emulator or the like that will play (some if not all) 360 games.

    Xbox 360 and Xbox one controller for PC

    Many PC games let you play with an Xbox Wireless Controller instead of a keyboard or mouse. You can connect your controller to a Windows PC by using a USB cable, the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows, or over Bluetooth. Some PCs also come with Xbox
    Wireless built in, so you can connect a controller directly without an adapter.
    The Xbox 360 Controller for Windows can be easily installed on any PC that has an available USB port and is running Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 8, or Windows 7.
