For Bluetooth, hold the sync button on the controller until the logo blinks, then find the controller in your PC's Bluetooth settings. Easy peasy!

I always use the Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows. It's a little dongle you plug into your USB port, and it connects up to 8 controllers. Just press the sync button on both the adapter and the controller. BAM! You're good to go!
