Bluetooth or Not? Let’s Find Out 

Want to connect wireless headphones, a keyboard, or a mouse—but not sure if your PC has Bluetooth? Many modern laptops and desktops include it, but it’s not always obvious. Here’s how to check if your PC has Bluetooth, and what to do if it doesn’t. 

1. Check for Bluetooth in Windows Settings 

Steps (Windows 10/11): 

  • Open Settings (press Windows + I) 
  • Click Devices > Bluetooth & other devices 
  • If you see a toggle switch for Bluetooth, your PC supports it 

If there’s no Bluetooth section at all, it likely isn’t built-in 

2. Check Device Manager for Bluetooth Hardware 

  • Right-click the Start menu and select Device Manager 
  • Look for a Bluetooth category in the list 
  • Expand it to see Bluetooth adapter details 

If you don’t see Bluetooth here, check under Network Adapters or Hidden Devices 

3. Use the Run Command to Confirm 

  • Press Windows + R to open Run 
  • Type devmgmt.msc and hit Enter 
  • Look for Bluetooth devices in the list that appears 

4. Search System Information 

  • Press Windows + S and type System Information 
  • Open the result and look under Components > Network > Adapter 
  • Look for Bluetooth or Wireless entries 

5. Don’t Have Bluetooth? Use a USB Adapter 

If your PC doesn’t have Bluetooth built in, don’t worry. You can: 

  • Buy a Bluetooth USB dongle 
  • Plug it into a spare USB port 
  • It auto-installs and adds Bluetooth capability 

Budget-friendly and works instantly on most Windows PCs 

 

Final Thoughts: Bluetooth Check = Done 

Checking for Bluetooth on your PC is easy, and adding it is even easier if needed. Once set up, you can enjoy wireless audio, file sharing, peripherals, and more.
