  1. Need to reinstall bluetooth on my desktop computer.


    I have an HP 500-164 computer. Its an old model that im trying to get working again and I forgot my old Microsoft password so I had to do a reset on it and then downloaded windows 10 it was running windows 8 before now I cant use the Bluetooth on it. The option to turn on Bluetooth isnt appearing so I cant add any devices. I tried going through the device manager to see if I just had to update the driver but the Bluetooth driver isn't there I also tried to view hidden drivers and its still not on the list.

    :)

    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

    Bluetooth in a desktop question

    I'm in the middle of a new build and normally use a USB dongle for my computers to be bluetooth-enabled. I was wondering if there was another way to get bluetooth on a desktop. Is there a PCI card or do some motherboards have it already (no idea what component would have the bluetooth already built in)? Thanks guys.

    Bluetooth in windows 10

    USB-BT211 Mini Bluetooth Dongle | Networking | ASUS Global

    • Support A2DP for Wireless Stereo Music Playback
    Edit: This is a dongle with old BT version I see now, but I'm sure you can find a Asus BT4.0 version.

    Edit2:

    @aasim1111 I have this one, it doesn't show that it supports A2DP in the specs but I think it'll work, otherwise send a mail to Asus and ask.
