I have the Magic Keyboard working with my Windows 10 system. Download the latest Windows Drivers from the Apple Support site (Downloads: Windows drivers) and you should be able to install the keyboard driver from the zip file. Wireless keyboards connect to a PC in one of two ways: via Bluetooth or a USB receiver. Some older Windows 7 machines may not support Bluetooth. On the other hand, if you need a keyboard to work across different platforms on newer devices, a Bluetooth-enabled model is what you need.

Using Apple Keyboard With Windows 10

NOTICE! There are two problems you will stumple upon when pairing Windows and Apple keyboard. Hopefully knowing this will save you time.
