Does the older PS4 controller work in a PC?

As I recall, there are currently two models of PS4 controllers. I was thinking about getting myself a PS4 soon, and since my Logitech controller recently gave out I figured I might as well get a PS4 controller that can work on both the PS4 and my PC.

I really don't have any interest in the added features of the new controller that came bundled with the PS4 Pro and Slim, so I was thinking about buying the older model instead at a cheaper price.

However, it would be useful for me if it's not pc compatible.

Anybody know the answer to this question?

The answer is Yes! It isn’t a simple plug-and-play solution like the Xbox controllers since they are made by Microsoft but you can download the drivers to make them work with windows.
