Driver Installation

Also, the first time I installed the driver, Windows 7 showed a 'Runtime Error' after plugging in the controller, followed by an 'XboxStat.exe has stopped working' error. The controller still worked, but the message was a nuisance. These messages went away after reinstalling the driver.
Finally, keep in mind that plugging the controller into a PC will break its wireless connection to the Xbox One. Download game memanah untuk pc. You’ll have to plug the controller back into the console via USB to pair them again.

[Tech]Windows 7 and Xbox One WIRED Controllers?
So I got an amazon gift card for my birthday and considered finally getting an xbox controller for my gaming PC's. Atm I'm still running windows 7, eventually planning to get a better rig with windows 10 probably.
The main question is, I'd like to buy this controller here. https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Afterglow-Prismatic-Wired-Controller-Xbox/dp/B00ZJRHSRW/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1526583871&sr=8-9&keywords=xbox+wired

I was wondering if this was true or if there were any work-arounds? I'd love to get this controller for now and as something I'll be able to use in the future on my newer PC. Just wanna make sure I'm not wasting money on a controller that can't even function on my PC atm. All the more if it's from a third party where maybe even microsoft's drivers for Xbox controllers wouldn't support it or something? Any help would be appreciated, I've been looking around and my results yield 50/50 results so far x.x;
EDIT: Just asked the manufacturer if it'd work on windows 7 now(didn't think I'd get an answer). Manufacturer replied 'Yes, you can download the required driver for Windows 7 here https://support.pdp.com/hc/en-us/articles/218228088-Does-this-controller-work-on-a-PC-'
