Apple unveiled AirPods for the first time in 2016, and its demand increased rapidly as it was considered the most desirable accessory in the market. In 2019, Apple released an advanced model, AirPods Pro, with amazing features and Active Noise Cancelation.
Though Apple AirPods were designed purposely for the Apple ecosystem, the AirPods are also compatible with Microsoft windows. Here is a guide on how to connect AirPods with windows 10 devices.

To connect AirPods with your Windows 10, follow the following steps on your PC:
