Being xbox naïve... do xbox wireless controllers come with a wireless receiver [I assume I cannot use the Win7 laptops Bluetooth] or do I have to buy one, if so are they generic or do I have to buy a xbox specific receiver ?
Are all xbox controllers the same ?
What is "steam" ?
lastly - to complete this what suggestions do you all have to stream/mirror the Win7 Laptop to my 60" TV [which I started a thread on here]
You will need either a xbox 360 or a xbox one wireless receiver (or steam, Logitech, etc) depending what you chose, they are not interchangeable
You will also need to upgrade to windows 10 to use the xbox one wireless receiver. my boys would rather play Minecraft with KB/M.
What is "steam" ? Google steampowered and wait for a sale

toejam316: Odd timing, MS released a driver for win 7 and 8.1 for the xbox one adapter.
