How to Connect My Wireless Receiver to Windows

Connecting a wireless receiver to the Windows operating system involves using a tool in the Control Panel called "Devices and Printers." This will allow your computer to recognize the wireless receiver and take it on as a component of your computer. You will then be able to do whatever you'd like with the receiver via the software you have installed on your computer, as it will be recognized as a connected device until you manually remove it.
