Believe it or not, I’m typing this post from my Windows 8.1 PC, using my Bluetooth Apple Wireless Keyboard instead of my doltish wired Dell keyboard.
I use both the apple wirteless mouse and keyboard with my PC, when I'm not using them with my iBook. I use the D-Link USB adapter that Apple recommends and I swap it across from iBook to PC. The PC recognises both just fine, I simply have to click the mouse and press one key on the keyboard at the log in screen, and wait 1 second and Im up. Just got that situation with windows bluetooth not being able to give me back my pin numbers from scratch. BTW the both 'internal external keyboard' mentionned above is actually doing or typing 'the fictive passcode' with both keyboards mac AND the pc keyboard many times yes then it is going to work. The appropriately named “Apple Wireless Keyboard Helper” is a nice free Windows tool that restores many of the Windows-specific functions and keys that are seemingly lost when using an Apple keyboard, including the Delete key, Print Screen, CTRL+ALT+DEL, volume adjustment, function toggle, and more. How do you get the Apple Magic keyboard to work on Windows 10 with the fn key and the correct layout? I'm using a Magic Keyboard with British English layout but none of the fn functions work such as media keys, volume, Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, Del, etc. An Apple wireless keyboard, mouse, or trackpad uses Bluetooth to communicate with your Mac. Make sure the device you’re setting up has charged batteries and is turned on. On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Keyboard, Mouse, or Trackpad.
Here’s how I did it…
I had an extra wireless Apple keyboard laying by my desk, dormant, collecting dust.
So I started to ruminate:
I wonder how hard it is to pair this keyboard with my Windows 8.1 laptop?
Oh friends! It isn’t hard at all. Let me show you how breezy it is to knock this tip out the park. Adobe illustrator cs6 tryout cracked.

Alright, load a fresh set of double AA’s into your battery chamber then hold down the power button for about 5 seconds until the tiny LED in the upper right corner of the keyboard starts to flash.
Great, now hit the Windows Key + w to zip over to the search settings bar and enter this phrase:

Next, you should see your Apple Wireless Keyboard jump into the list in about 30 seconds.

You may see a “That didn’t work Please make sure your device is discoverable” error or a “device no longer listening“. The first error is sometimes a corollary of not holding down the keyboard power button long enough and the second error could be a driver issue.
Press the Windows Key + x + m to whip open the Device manager. Make sure you don’t have any yellow alert icons next to any Bluetooth or unknown devices. If so, you might want to remove the device, add it back and then update the drivers.
In addition, if something still isn’t working right ask yourself whether you have existing Bluetooth devices paired with your computer.
If so, you may want to unpair them before attempting to pair your Apple keyboard. That way you can start fresh and incrementally pair your gadgets.

Who ever said Apple and Microsoft can’t love each other?
Now you might ask what the non-Windows keys such as Command, Mission Control and Launchpad do?
Ah! I won’t ruin on all the fun – why don’t you try pressing it on your computer to find out!
But I’ll say this much:
- The Command button is the Windows Key
- The Option button is analogous to the Alt key

Apple Wireless Keyboard Windows Driver

I just had this same problem. Here's how I fixed it:
- In Windows 10's bluetooth settings (can be found in system tray), click on the icon and then click 'Add Bluetooth Device'.
- Then, on the Apple Wireless Keyboard, hold down Command + W, while Windows is searching for bluetooth devices.
- Then (hopefully) after it finds your Keyboard, it will want to pair with it. Follow the on screen prompts and eventually you will have to type in a pairing code.
- Type in this code and hit Return.
- Your Keyboard should successfully pair with Windows 10 via the Mac's Bluetooth
Hope this helps you out.
