How to use AirPods with a non-Apple Windows laptop
Your AirPods work best with Apple products – there’s no question.
But you can still use them as a Bluetooth headset with non-Apple devices.
You’ll be restricted with some features: Siri won’t work, for instance.
But you can still listen to music or talk on calls.
First, go to the Bluetooth settings on your device and make sure it’s on.
Then open the AirPods case with the earbuds inside.
Press and hold the button on the back of the AirPods case until the light flashes white.
Then choose your AirPods once they appear in the list of Bluetooth devices.
You may find you have different features depending on what Bluetooth device you’ve connected to.
