    Yes. Apple AirPods can be connected to a Windows 11 laptop over Bluetooth, as long as the laptop supports Bluetooth.

    Steps:

    1. Make sure the HP laptop has Bluetooth and that Bluetooth is turned on:
      • Select Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices and confirm Bluetooth is On.
      • Or use the taskbar quick settings and turn on Bluetooth.
    2. Put the AirPods in pairing mode:
      • Place them in the case, open the lid, and make them discoverable.
    3. On the laptop, open the Bluetooth device list:
      • Select the Network, Sound, or Battery icon on the taskbar.
      • Select Manage Bluetooth devices.
    4. Under New devices, select the AirPods when they appear, then complete any prompts and select Done.

    If the AirPods do not appear:

    • Make sure the case lid is open and the AirPods are in pairing mode.
    • If the device is not shown in the list, the Bluetooth devices discovery setting might need to be set to Advanced.
    • Run the Bluetooth troubleshooter in the Get Help app.

    If Bluetooth pairing keeps failing, I’d remove the device from Settings > Bluetooth & devices, restart both devices, and try pairing again. Also check Device Manager for a Bluetooth driver update. If it still won’t pair, turning Bluetooth off and back on after a restart can sometimes clear a stuck pairing state.

    Hi,

    Absolutely, yes, as long as the laptop's Bluetooth is working.

    • Place both AirPods in the charging case and open the lid.
    • Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case until the status light flashes white.
    • On your Windows PC, go to Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
    • Turn Bluetooth on, then select Add device > Bluetooth.
    • Select your AirPods from the list.
    • Wait for “Connected” to appear.

    If the AirPods don't appear, close the case, reopen it, and hold the setup button again until the light flashes white.
