Introduction

If you purchased an Xbox Wireless Receiver for Windows and are wondering how to use it on Windows 7 or 8.x, this guide will show you how to install the drivers. Since Microsoft is aggressively pushing Windows 10 (despite most choosing to wait), problems have begun to show up with the process to push reluctant Windows 7 or 8.x users to upgrade. This guide will show you how to manually install the driver and get it working on these older systems.IMPORTANT: While my screenshots show Windows 7, it is no longer supported by Microsoft as of 1/14/2020. Since the steps are still largely the same, I chose to keep using the existing photos.

• PASSED: Windows 7: AS OF 1/14/2020, WINDOWS 7 IS END OF LIFE. I no longer support Windows 7. However, this procedure can still be used and works.PASSED: Windows 8.1: Windows 8.1 will be “EOL” on 1/10/2023, however, I am marking this guide “EOL” before the official date from Microsoft. As of 12/14/2021, I am not supporting Windows 8.1 users directly but will fix critical guide issues.

• In most cases, the receiver picks up the driver automatically but may need encouragement. Follow the manual steps in the event it does not automatically install.Windows 10 users: This guide is specific to Windows 7 and 8.x, not 10 as it required driver version changes. Refer to the Windows 10 guide.

Step 1

              Plug and play installation               

• Try this method first. Microsoft pulled the download from the public Microsoft Update catalog.
• Before opening Device Manager, see if the driver installed correctly (it will say “Ready to use”). If it does not say this, open Device Manager to confirm.
• Plug the Xbox Wireless Receiver into your PC. Before using the manual option, confirm the automatic installation worked.
• Windows 7: Open the start menu and right click Computer. Select Manange and locate Device Manager.
• Windows 8.x: Right click the Windows logo in the taskbar. Select Device Manager.

I assume this does not work with the new version of the dongle

Nick - Jul 10, 2018

The small one only works in Windows 10. The fat one works in 7/8.x and 10. There is a dedicated W10 guide with a warning related to drivers.

My dongle has version 1713 printed on it (tiny font) and it worked on W7. Some details here

Thank you. It’s a shame. Such intentional and shady practices from Microsoft, blockade on a driver. You seem to really know your stuff… do you know if the Windows 10 dongle has features the old one does not? Since I don’t even need to google it to know the old dongle is no longer for sale outside of second-hand.

Nick - Jul 11, 2018

Not that I’m aware of.

I can still find the old one new so it’s available. I doubt it’s discontinued.
