Some motherboards come with built-in Bluetooth and you caninstall Bluetooth adapterson boards that don’t have it by default.
But if you didn’tbuild the system yourself, you may not know whether any such adapters are present on your system.
In such cases,check your motherboard spec sheetto confirm whether Bluetooth was integrated by default.
Additionally, you canlook for Bluetooth settingsin the Device Manager to verify whether it’s supported.
Check Motherboard Specs
If you’re in the research phase and are searching for boards that support Bluetooth,
If you want to check Bluetooth support on aboard that you already own, you have a few options:
Check Bluetooth Adapter in Device Manager
TheDevice Manageris used to view and manage the connected devices in Windows. If your motherboard has Bluetooth, the adapter will be listed in the Device Manager.
you may alsocheck for Bluetooth supportfrom other locations like theControl Panel,Windows Settings, or theNotification Area. However, these methods have some limitations.
On some systems, theBluetooth adapter may be disabledor the driver may not be installed. In such cases, the Bluetooth setting will be either completely missing or have limited configurability with the latter methods.
You may also encounter error messages statingBluetooth isn’t available on your deviceeven if an adapter is installed. So, I recommend checking for Bluetooth support via the Device Manager as it’s the most reliable method.
The Device Manager will let youenable Bluetooth if required,reinstall the drivers, and much more.
