Your machine could be a little bit old to upgrade wireless card therefore please try  http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/targus-bluetooth-4-0-usb-adaptor-taacb75au

There are many brands and models around, cheaper too.

Does your machine have Bluetooh (hardware) ? If yes, you may have to install software for OTHER devices when you connect to.

 

Regards.

I believe it does not.  I know that it can show up in Device Manager, but does it always do so?  How would I know that I have Bluetooth hardware?
