What If There Are No Bluetooth Devices On The Desktop Computer?
Only laptops have Bluetooth capabilities; many desktop PCs lack this feature. To use this feature, your desktop should have a USB Bluetooth adapter.
Purchase a USB Bluetooth adapter and connect it to your computer as the first step.
Step 2: The computer will detect the device and install the driver automatically. To preserve the default settings, please follow the instructions on the page. Then, click Next to finish the installation.
During the installation process, if a pop-up box asking you to "Confirm that Bluetooth is enabled on your system, plug in your device, and click OK" appears, you should manually update the Bluetooth driver.
To access Device Manager, perform a right-click on the Windows key button.
Locate the recently installed driver that is shown in the Bluetooth menu, then right-click and choose Update driver.
