Windows 10: how increase bluetooth rang my laptop widows 10

my laptop hp windows 10 how to increas bluetooth rang

Same Bluetooth Dongle - Different OS - Different Range

Background:

My laptop has undergone a serious upgrading and turned into a project for me - part of this upgrade was to

1. Take the optical drive bay out, install a second HDD and make it a hackintosh
   
2. Install a Bluetooth dongle inside the shell and increase it's range so I can stream Bluetooth audio to a speaker from a reasonable distance.
   I managed to hackintosh successfully and today I had the chance to upgrade the inner Bluetooth system, with the intent to extend it's range (you can read more into it here).
   

Testing the outcome of my upgrade yielded something interesting. I have a Bluetooth speaker that sits in the kitchen to play audio from, and whilst testing the range in Windows 10, I found that I have to basically sit no longer than 1m away from the receiver for the audio not to be choppy (no improvement). However, it got interesting upon booting into El Capitan and discovering that I could sit a proper 6m away and the audio to be crystal clear(!)

Question:

Could someone please tell me why I am able to get a much greater range out of my Bluetooth dongle in El Capitan compared to Windows 10. Same dongle, same computer - different operating systems. Would it have to something with the default drivers? Or something to do with the communication between devices and packets?

Cheers guys.

 

Bluetooth in windows 10

My computer specs are as listed in the profile. I think all of you guys are correct. I don't have built-in Bluetooth in mobo.

I contacted skull candy headphones and thy have told me if I do not have built-in Bluetooth, I would need a dongle which supports at least a2dp. I do not know what the heck that means. I have a feeling I would need more than a cheap dongle.

Anyone suggest some a2dp adapters. I searched but don't know what a2dp is so couldn't make a decision

 

Whats the bluetooth range of the N-series?

Just wondering what is the bluetooth range of the N-series phones is, as its terrible in my N70, max about 8-10 meters if I'm lucky. I have a Bluetooth Access Point in my house, and my N70 can only see it when in the same room, while my laptop can see
it even from the garden which is nearly 50m away!

... so was wondering. I assume N-series phones are class III Bluetooth devices? i.e. max 10m range? while something like a laptop would be class I (100m)

its not listed in the phones spec.
