How to install bluetooth on a computer?
Bluetooth is a type of data transfer between devices located at a distance from each other up to 100 meters. Everything happens wirelessly. It has established itself as one of the best substitutes for inconvenient wires, because unlike wired analogs, it does not require additional devices, it is not inferior in terms of data transfer speed, it can connect several devices at the same time, which you won’t do with a single USB cable. And thanks to the progress in the field of household appliances in the near future it will be possible to use it to control any utensils, whether it is a washing machine or electric kettlethrough your smartphone. Agree, the thing is quite useful. Now in many phones, tablets, laptops and even “smart TVs” this function is built-in. But what about the owners of personal computers?

If you are puzzled whether it is possible to install bluetooth on a computer, the answer is definitely, however, first you need to find out if it is on your PC or is actually missing initially.
This is usually written on the motherboard. However, the process of extracting it is quite time-consuming and unsafe for your device, so do not rush to take up screwdrivers.
There is an easier way to check your “bakery” for support for this type of transmission. For this:
- Right-click on the “My Computer” icon.
- In the pop-up window, select “Properties”.
- Next, go to the “Hardware” tab (for Windows owners), open the “Device Manager”, and there we look for Bluetooth.
But then it’s obvious: if we don’t find it there, it means that it is not on your device.

Do not be sad, because, as we said above, it is possible to install bluetooth on a computer. To do this, you just need to buy a bluetooth adapter in the store.
Choose an adapter
There are two types of these - internal and external.
Important! External ones are connected to the computer via a USB port, while internal ones are connected directly to the motherboard via a special PCI input.
It will still be much more profitable to buy an external adapter, since it does not require unnecessary manipulations with the system unit, which can be under warranty.
Important! We recommend connecting the device to the rear USB port of the computer, since you will most likely rarely get it, and you will still have free front USB inputs.
We deal with drivers
Drivers with drivers are always included with the adapter. First of all, you need to take care of their installation:
- If there is no disk, then the site address must be written from which you can download the driver you need immediately in digital form.
- If this information is also missing, you can use the BlueSoleil utility by downloading it from a torrent, or devid.info, which has established itself as an analogue with an incredibly large catalog of supported devices.
- If the bluetooth installation on the computer was successful, its icon will appear in the system line, as well as in the “Devices and Printers” section.
Important! Once the installation is successfully completed, it's time to test the system. Depending on your goals and objectives, use our simple step-by-step instructions to connect the device you need:
In case of malfunctions:
- If nothing has happened after installing the driver and connecting the adapter, we recommend that you restart your computer and check again. Usually after this procedure, the software starts to work.
- If the device is still not detected, try plugging it into another USB port.
- If this does not help, contact the store where you bought the adapter with a check and warranty card.
