As an owner of both AirPods and a Windows 10 computer, I understand the frustration that can come with trying to connect your AirPods to your PC. In this article, I will guide you through the step-by-step process of connecting your AirPods to Windows 10, based on my personal experience.
Step 1: Make Sure Bluetooth is Enabled
The first thing you need to do is ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your Windows 10 computer. To do this, click on the Windows icon in the bottom left corner of your screen, then select “Settings” from the menu. In the Settings window, click on “Devices” and toggle the Bluetooth switch to the “On” position.
Step 2: Open the Bluetooth Settings
Next, you’ll need to open the Bluetooth settings on your Windows 10 computer. To do this, click on the Windows icon again, then select “Settings” > “Devices” > “Bluetooth & other devices”. This will open the Bluetooth settings window.
Step 3: Put AirPods in Pairing Mode
Now, you’ll need to put your AirPods in pairing mode. To do this, open the lid of your AirPods case (with the AirPods inside) and press and hold the button on the back of the case until the LED light on the front starts flashing white. This indicates that your AirPods are in pairing mode.
Step 4: Add a Bluetooth Device
In the Bluetooth settings window on your Windows 10 computer, click on the “Add Bluetooth or other device” button. This will open the “Add a device” window.
Step 5: Pair Your AirPods
In the “Add a device” window, click on the “Bluetooth” option. Your Windows 10 computer will start searching for nearby Bluetooth devices, including your AirPods. Once your AirPods appear in the list, click on them to start the pairing process.
Step 6: Confirm the Pairing
Your Windows 10 computer will now display a pairing code on the screen and your AirPods will emit a pairing sound. Make sure that the pairing code displayed on your computer matches the code spoken by your AirPods. If they match, click on the “Connect” button to confirm the pairing.
Step 7: Enjoy Your AirPods
Once the pairing process is complete, your AirPods should be connected to your Windows 10 computer. You can now enjoy listening to your favorite music, podcasts, or videos wirelessly.
Connecting AirPods to a Windows 10 computer may seem like a daunting task, but by following these steps, you can easily enjoy the convenience and high-quality sound that AirPods have to offer on your PC.

Connecting AirPods to Windows 10 may require a few extra steps compared to pairing them with Apple devices, but it is definitely worth it.
