Recently a friend gave me a wired Xbox 360 controller to use on my PC, I have a desktop HP Compaq elite 8300 sff running Windows 10 home pro,,, The problem is the controller isn't working like it should,,, I don't know how or where to check for the control drivers or where to go to set up the control functions for it,,, As you guessed I don't know very much about computers and I'm not great at navigating or accessing the places i want to go as far as programs and such , I tried the virtual asst but didn't get very far with it... I guess I must be stupid,, that's ok i own it if i am,, any help would be greatly appreciated... Sincerely Coy Osbon
