Apple Magic Trackpad 2 or Magic Mouse or Apple Keyboard on Windows 10

 I got my hands into a 2nd hand Apple Magic Trackpad 2 and really enjoyed using it on my Mac. For work I need to use a windobesides using it on my Mac I also would like to use it on my Windows 10 laptop. 

Initially, I could not make it work wirelessly but if you use the charging usb-lighting cable and install drivers following instructions below that I have found here

Here are the steps:

1) If you've already added your Magic Mouse as a Bluetooth device in Windows 10, remove it before beginning.

2) Download Apple's Bootcamp Support Software here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1837?viewlocale=en_AM&locale=en_AM

3) Unzip the file and navigate to the following folder:

bootcamp5.1.5769\Bootcamp\Drivers\Apple

4) Double-click on the file AppleWirelessMouseDriver64.exe. This will install the proper driver for the Magic Mouse. (also Install all the drivers you think you need, for magic mouse, keyboard and pad)

5) Add your Magic Mouse under Windows 10 Bluetooth devices.
