  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.

    Need to reinstall bluetooth on my desktop computer.

    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.
