I did that. In Windows 10, I clicked on windows, selected settings, clicked on Connected Devices then Add Device. It doesn't recognize the mouse. I then clicked on Bluetooth and the mouse isn't recognized.

You should be able to pair it using Window's Bluetooth assitant assuming the computer at work is equipped with a bluetooth adapter.

It may not have all the features it has on a Mac though.

I got it in discoverable mode (blinking light on the bottom) no success. It's a magic mouse 1, should I download the Boot Camp software?

If Windows is not seeing the magic mouse, you may have to install the bootcamp software as explained above first.
