This works well if you have a Broadcom adapter. You can also determine your Bluetooth hardware manufacturer and try downloading drivers directly from that company’s site. Once you install the latest drivers and reboot, you should see Bluetooth appear in your wireless settings. Be sure and grab the specific driver for your type of Windows (32-bit or 64-bit).

The first and best approach is to go to your laptop manufacturer’s website and grab the latest Bluetooth drivers from there. ALL LAPTOP MODELS Download the Latest Drivers
