Would a XP era WMC Remote work on Win10 WMC?
I'm looking forward to buying a XP era WMC Remote, and I was wondering if it would work on Win10 WMC.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Yes. I use the Microsoft WMC Remote all the time in Windows 10.

Also would the computer brand ones work (e.g Lenovo, Dell, etc) for Windows 10 or no?

I've got a few different remotes that came with computers and they work fine with WMC. The main thing to look for is that they have the big green Media Center button.

I recommend using the one Gyration made. That's a nice beast as it allows also to move the mouse pointer in a similar way the Nintendo Wii Remote can do. The bonus is that it is not infrared but RF for the MCE/Computer control. And additionally it can learn additional IR commands for other devices like TV set like any other simple universal IR remote control.

Before to buy maybe someone use it with windows 10 20h2 and wmc can confirm.
I use hauppauge dualhd

P.S.:
Finally after some time of research, I found that:

with that :

What will I have to do? Is it plug and play ? Or do I have to do some configurations?

You need a USB connected IR receiver rather than the style in the 2nd link.
Your first link has the correct style usb receiver in the picture.

I did not know if thé second link was useful because it can be connected in the usb receiver, so I took the 2.
Ok, thanks I will receive that in a month maybe and I let you know if it was a good choice.
