You don't need an adapter, just a usb cable.
That's what I've been using for a number of years anyway.
You can also use Bluetooth, for a wireless connection. Any of those cheap USB Bluetooth Adaptors would work, I have some U-Green one on my desktop, to use my PS5 dualsense on it.Ahhh ok my bad, thought it was Bluetooth
Not done it for over a year, but back then I always used the below application to turn off the gamepad lights and some other tweaks that the built in windows drivers don't support.

Cheers bud, will take a look at these also
Bear in mind, AISTBC, but you have to be connected by USB to get full PS5 pad capability, ie trigger haptics, etc.
I think if you use ds4windows you can use all the dual sense features wired and wireless on windows.

You won't get full polling rates using a USB BT adapter, it will be really limited, even as low as 31Hz for a generic cheap chipped BT adapter, to get 500Hz+ you need a proper BT adapter like one of those PCIe ones.
You don't need DS4 to work though as many games now natively support DualSense, so just a USB cable is needed to get the best out of it.
Edit* Quick google reveals something like this will give wireless connectivity for DualSense on PC, though no mention of polling rate, tempted to buy one to test myself and confirm:
