You can use your PS4 controller on PC via Bluetooth or with a micro-USB cable. For Bluetooth, hold the PlayStation and Share buttons on the controller until the light bar flashes, then pair it through your PC's Bluetooth settings. For wired, just connect the micro-USB cable to your PC and it should recognize it automatically.

Honestly, just plug it in with a USB cable and most games will recognize it right away. No need to overcomplicate things!
