I want to add Bluetooth to my desktop PC.  I purchased a dongle/adapter from my PC store, but it doesn't connect.  When I checked device manager, there is no Bluetooth Radio Information showing.  I have concluded the adapter is either broken or not the right device for my PC.  I now need to buy another adapter, but I don't know which one to buy.  Don't tell me to update drivers or look at adapter's website because I have been there, done that.  Just tell me which Bluetooth Dongle will actually work on my PC, and where I can buy it.  Thanks

Hi:

 

There must be something wrong with it.

 

I use this one on two of my HP business desktop PC's and it works just fine.

Plug it in, and W10 should automatically install the drivers for it in a minute or two.

thank you, Paul.  I have ordered one.  I will let you know how it goes in a future post.
