Hi:

 

Below is the link to the product specs page for your notebook.

 

http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-15-r000-Notebook-PC-series/6875200/model/7174332/document/c04...

 

It does not come with built in bluetooth networking, or that feature would have been listed along with the 1x1 802.11b/g/n WLAN Wireless Connectivity specification.

 

You can add bluetooth networking by:

 

Puchasing an external usb bluetooth adapter.

 

Replacing the internal wireless network adapter with one that has bluetooth.

 

You would need to replace yours with the Realtek RT8723BE 802.11bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi + BT4.0 Combo Adapter, since your notebook will only have one antenna connected to the current RTL8188EE wlan card it has.

 

HP Part number 753077-005.

 

Replacing the wireless card is a very in depth procedure which you can find in the service manual below -- chapter 6.
