Windows 10: Windows 10 Bluetooth Transceiver Help

I've been running windows 7 forever on one computer in my house but recently decided to upgrade to windows 10.

It's been a complete nightmare driver wise from the get go, whereas my other computer in the house was smooth sailing the whole way through. anyways, I have an older Wireless Entertainment Desktop 7000 (that came with a wireless entertainment keyboard 7000 and a wireless laser mouse 8000) and is connected using a microsoft bluetooth transceiver v3.0.

I was using intellipoint for all the extra mouse/keyboard functions and eventually started using microsoft mouse and keyboard centre but since installing windows 10, I can't for the life of me get the mouse and keyboard app to recognize my devices. I used to be able to set it to hardware mode and not software mode for the transceiver and that would fix the issues with previous versions of windows

They all work perfectly, except for all the media buttons / zoom / gadgets etc and the ability to give the mouse different commands for the different extra buttons. I've tried everything in some older forums (reinstalled drivers / reinstalled windows / tried different USB ports etc) but nothing works.


Can anybody out there help me with this? I know it's been 10 years and I should just get a new keyboard and mouse but it just works so well still.

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

• 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.

Bluetooth in windows 10

So I bought a new Bluetooth headphones the skull candy uproar since my old one isn't working. It came with only the headset and usb charging cable. The problem is I can't seem to pair it to my pc. I have windows 10 by the way. There is no Bluetooth on off button in windows settings. I went to device manager but there us no icon for Bluetooth. I did everything I knew but none of it worked.I can post pictures if anyone needs.An alternative might be a Bluetooth dongle but I m not sure I'd it would work plus I paid $50 so don't wanna spend more

I looked up on Internet and many people seem to have issues with windows 10 and Bluetooth. I thought of asking here knowing my UK friends are smart.

Anyone have any idea of how to get Bluetooth to work on my pc.

PS don't curse windows 10. I already know it's a mess and not a very good os.
