Today’s quick tech tip….
Did you know you can use your AirPods with a Windows PC?
Do you have a pair of Apple AirPods that you use with your IPhone, iPad and/or Mac?
If so, you might be wondering if they’ll work with a Windows machine.
And guess what? The answer is yes.
While AirPods are designed to work seamlessly with Apple devices, they also work quite well with Windows PCs.
While there are a few rare exceptions, most any Bluetooth enabled device will work with most any Bluetooth enabled smartphone, tablet or computer. That’s the awesome nature of Bluetooth.
If you’d like to use your AirPods, AirPods Pro or AirPods Max earbuds with a Windows machine, you’ll find general instructions for pairing them up on this Microsoft Support page.
