3. Tap the switch on the right to activate Bluetooth.
4. You will see the name of the device connected to your PC. Click “Add Device” on the right. At this stage, you should also have your AirPods ready.
5. Open the AirPods case.
6. Press and hold the physical button on the AirPods case until you see the white LED blink.
7. You will see the Add Device menu on your computer screen. Select “Bluetooth” to add AirPods.
