Check If Your Computer Has Bluetooth

If you have a Windows PC, checking its Bluetooth availability is like a walk in the park. Some desktop computers may not have Bluetooth. In case you're not sure whether or not your desktop computer has Bluetooth, here are some quick and easy steps to take.

• Right-click on the start bar and choose Device Manager

• You will see a whole list of available device drivers. If your computer has a Bluetooth feature, you will see the Bluetooth icon.

• If you own an old PC, check network adapters for any Bluetooth icon or driver; your laptop does not have Bluetooth connectivity if you can't find one.

The only exception is if you've reinstalled Windows from the start and haven't used Bluetooth after the new configurations. Due to this problem, your computer might have missed some drivers, and Bluetooth could be one of them. Another good option to check the Bluetooth availability is to read the owner's manual available on the manufacturer's website. If you have built your PC yourself, check the hardware details you used to confirm.

How To Add Bluetooth To Windows 10:

If you find out that your computer lacks Bluetooth functionality, but it is necessary for you, you'll need to purchase some additional hardware. Bluetooth adapters are available as USB dongles or mPCIe network interface cards with antenna arrays. You can choose the one which fits your needs and is compatible with your computer and peripheral devices.

Because they can pull more electricity to bigger antenna arrays, Bluetooth mPCIe adapter cards typically provide a better signal and a longer duration. They'll work best on a computer. You don't always have the room or want the aerials hanging down if you're using a laptop or a compact PC. Thus a USB dongle might be preferable.

You can choose from a range of sizes and prices. Moreover, some hybrid adapters provide your computer with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Here is how you can set up the adapter:

• Plugin the adapter to your computer and run it
• At the start screen. Your computer will automatically read the adapter and download the required drivers.

If you still can't see the Bluetooth option on your computer after plugging in the hardware, you must manually install the Bluetooth software. With the increased functionality and the speed of Bluetooth, it is a good idea to add Bluetooth to your computer for multiple uses.
