question about wired and wireless xbox one controller for pc

(dind't know what category to Select)

I have a few questions about the Xbox one Controller (for use on pc):
-You can buy either a wired Version or a Wireless Version of the Controller. Does this mean that if i buy the wired Version i can not use Wireless and if i buy the Wireless one, i can not use wired? I would like to be able to switch between using the Controller wired and Wireless.
Wired:

Wireless:

If i buy the wired one, can't i just disconnect the wire, and use it Wireless? And if i buy the Wireless one, can't i just get a micro usb cable and Connect the controlle rto my pc?

-Would wither the wired or wireless Version of the Controller work for PC? If that's the case:
Do i have to plug the wired controller into a usb port on the pc and let it install the drivers to be able to play games With it?
If i use a wireless controller, do i have to buy a special reciever or can i just connect the controller to my asus bt-400 Bluetooth dongle?

I don't know if i'm exactly correct but when you turn on a controller to the pc you have to have the program on and then you press the power button to the controller, you should be able to use either one if you press the power button on it and xbox wireless controller has its own wireless adapter that has to be bought and hooked to the pc

What program do i need to have on? And do you know if i can use one of the Controller both wired and Wireless?

ChimeraGaming :

Ok, but do you know if you can use an Xbox one Controller wirelessly With pc?

*Edited* i couldn't find a wireless adapter for the xbox one controller, i dont know if the xbox 360 one will work with that controller.

They don't make an XBOX ONE Wireless adapter for the PC, so you have to use a wired one, or wireless with a play and charge cable.
When you plug it in, windows will detect it's a XBOX ONE controller and download the drivers and any game that supports a gamepad will be able to use it, but you may have to manually set the controls in games that don't do it for you.

They do might Wireless Controller adapters for XBOX 360 controllers though.
