Bluetooth and dualboot with Linux

I have a common web-developer setup: dualboot of Linux (Arch) for work and Windows for entertainment. And I have bluetooth headphones (Sennheiser HD1 Wireless), that can bee connected to two devices. But there is a problem.

If I pair my headphones on windows, they are not recognized anymore on the linux. If I "unpair" them on linux and reboot into windows, it's not being recognize on windows anymore (so I have to unpair again and re-find the device again). I have been doing
that for 6 months and it has become .. emm ... mildly infuriating.

It feels like I have each OS using the same bluetooth "device id" but using a different "secret" for connection.

So, I have to options:

• change the device ID in one operating system (same way as MAC addresses for network adapters)
• make sure that both OSes use the same "secret"

Is one of these options available on Windows (what I have a legal 10 Home version ... or non-professional version)? Or should I try to fix this on the Linux side? Are there any tutorials for this you can link me to? Or some google keywords?

Buying second pair of headphones is NOT a good option.

 

Linux Mint Cinnamon to Windows 10

Mint is one of many variants of the free operating system called Linux. It is considered easy to use, but if you have invested in learning and using Windows for years, grasping it will be a bit overwhelming.

If your objective is to use your computer to get things done, you will need to have some basic knowledge of how Linux works in order to do that. Although Linux is much improved over the years, it still remains rough around the edges.

I suggest you load Windows 10 on the system since it more than meets the requirements and will be compatible with existing hardware and applications you own.

Step 1: buy Windows 10:

Step 2: Download and create a bootable copy of Windows 10, you will likely have to do this from a computer already running Windows:
