is using a series x/s xbox controller on vista possible?

[mithrilling]

It's my only controller and i've been setting up games on my vista machine so i looked it up and got a whole load of results for xbox one drivers and how to use them with vista but nothing on series x/s controllers. i cant even find modern drivers for it, only that theyre installed with the xbox apps and all that built in win10/11 stuff. Is there really no way to do it or am i not looking hard enough? (the point of this question is really "should i just get an older controller/controller with older drivers?")
