Windows 10: Can't download driver for Windows 10 Xbox 360 wireless adapter

I just recently got a Xbox 360 wireless adapter for my computer. But, when trying to download the driver to make the Xbox 360 controller compatible with the computer, the installation directs me to https://www.microsoft.com/accessories/en-us/downloads I know what I need to do so I find something that says Xbox Controller + Wireless Adapter for Windows. So I click on it and it says it can't find the page I'm looking for I searched all the other devices under Gaming Devices and most of them are no there. How can I install the driver for the Xbox 360 adapter when it is not even there. Also there is no way I'm downloading potentially a dangerous "driver" from other websites. How can I through Microsoft download this driver I need for my Xbox 360 controller to work on my PC?
