Had a quick play connecting the XBOne to my Microsoft Surface last night, but I literally got it connected and then had a quick click around the XBOX app.
How, would I start a game? How does the controller connect?
Misses was watching some @%^& on TV, so I thought I'd fire them both up and play on there, but couldn't see where you launch a game. I was looking for the Forza 6 demo.
Also, how does the controller connect to the PC? Do you need to purchase a cable or will it work wirelessly with the XBOne if it is in range?
Are you running windows 10 on your surface? If so open the xbox app not smartglass. On the left is the connection tab; connect to your xbox and a stream button should appear near the top. This will bring up your actual xbox dashboard so you just open any game or app the same way you normally would.
Connector wise you either leave it connected to your xbox if its within reach or use a standard micro usb cable to plug it into your pc.
