Step 1: Get a third party software and device driver for PS4 wireless controller (DS4Windows)

In order for your PC to detect a PS4 DualShock 4 controller, you need to secure a software called DS4Windows. This piece of important software will allow Windows 10 to see your PS4 DualShock 4 controller as an Xbox controller, which is the only controller supported officially by this OS. Basically, once you have DS4Windows installed, your computer will be fooled into thinking that you are plugging in an Xbox controller.

Step 2: Install DS4Windows.

Once you have downloaded DS4Windows on your PC, you have to find the Zip file and extract it. To do that, just right click on the file and hit Extract All option. You can either create a new destination folder to extract the files to, or you can simply extract them to the same folder where the original zip file is located. Any of the two methods should work.

After extracting the files, you should see two important files: DS4Updater.exe and DS4Windows.exe. The first one is a software updater, and you’ll be using it to keep DS4Windows updated.

The other file is the main application executable. Right click it to begin installing the DS4Windows software.

Step 3: Configure DS4Windows

So that your PS4 DualShock 4 wireless controller will work on your PC, you want to make sure that you set DS4Windows up properly.

Upon first opening DS4Windows, Windows will ask you for settings and profiles you want. If you have no idea how to begin, you should pick Appdata.

Afterwards, a new window will open and you need to click on Install the DS4 Driver. Doing so will let you use your DualShock 4 wireless controller on your Windows 10 PC.

Step 4: Use a micro USB cable to connect your PS4 to your PC

After the installation and first time setup, you should be able to connect your DualShock 4 controller to your PC either via a micro USB cable connection, or via Bluetooth.
