While it’s not quite as easy as pairing AirPods or AirPods Pro with an iOS device, pairing them with a PC is only slightly more difficult.
All you have to do is take the actions listed below to get started.
In Windows 10, open the Settings app.
Navigate to the Devices menu in Settings.
It will display the Bluetooth & other devices page.
To add a Bluetooth or other device, select it.
Lift the cover and take out your AirPods or AirPods Pro.
For approximately three to eight seconds, depress the circular button located on the rear side of your AirPods.
Have patience. The appearance of the AirPods may take a few seconds.
When they do, Windows 10 will probably load them as "AirPods Pro" (or whatever name you gave them on iOS, if you have an iPhone or iPad you previously used them with). They will probably first appear as "Headphones." Choose them.
In Windows 11, open the Settings app.
Select the Bluetooth & devices option from the Settings menu.
Click the large "Add device" button at the top of the screen.

After Windows 11 loads them as "AirPods" or "AirPods Pro" (or whatever you’ve renamed them to, if you’ve previously used them with an iPhone or iPad), they will probably first appear as "Headphones." Choose them.
You should now be using your AirPods for active listening.
