There is a wired option, it's called Oculus Link. Link got improved so the cable that your quest came with works too.

It sounds like ALVR is a lot more difficult to set up then Virtual Desktop. With that it's
1. Install Virtual Desktop (after buying it) onto your Quest
2. Sideload the patch for Virtual Desktop
3 Enjoy PCVR without being teathered
Lo, a quest! I seek the threads of my future in the seeds of the past.

I have purchased Virtual Desktop and then Side Loaded it,  I just thought I might play around with ALVR,  ALVR is wireless as well

If it's wireless, why would you need to... Oooh, it wants you to open the USB ports software side. Yeah, I'd be hesitant do mess with that.

Keep in mind there's a bit of a tug of war. The Store version doesn't allow you to play Rift games wirelessly, although Steam VR works fine. Mostly. There's the occasional issue that's fixed by resetting the view. The sideload patch allows Rift game access, but gets disabled when the Store version updates, at which point you need a new version of the Sideload patch.
