Right click on the Windows Start button in the lower left corner on the screen. Device Manager on Windows 10 is easily reachable. Still, if there’s no Bluetooth icon in the lower right corner, you can go to Windows’ Device Manager to check whether Bluetooth hardware is really missing or just not shown on the taskbar. If it isn’t, chances are Bluetooth module is missing.
If its there, then your laptop does have Bluetooth. It’s either shown near the battery, Wi-Fi, and speaker icons or you have to click on the nearby up arrow (^) to see it. If Bluetooth is up and running on your laptop, you’ll be able to see a Bluetooth icon on the taskbar in the lower right corner of the screen. Here’s how you can tell if your Windows 10 laptop has Bluetooth radio built-in. Or you bought a used notebook from 2010, with its original Windows 7 upgraded to Windows 10, and have no idea whether your unit features Bluetooth or not. You assume it’s included, but still want to check if that’s true. Bluetooth isn’t listed in its specs sheet.
Let’s say you bought an affordable brand new Windows 10 laptop. Only a few new laptop PCs (some of the cheap models) and some outdated notebooks don’t.
Most Windows-powered notebooks on the market in 2018 do have a Bluetooth module built-in.
