Hi:

 

The Intel (R) Centrino Advanced - N6205 wifi adapter is not a combination wifi/bluetooth adapter.

 

https://ark.intel.com/products/59471/Intel-Centrino-Advanced-N-6205-Dual-Band

 

Are you sure your notebook came with built in bluetooth? 

 

In other words, you used bluetooth before you reinstalled W7?

 

Do you see a bluetooth radios category in the device manager?

 

That would mean that your notebook has the HP integrated bluetooth module, and the only suggestion I can offer would be to try this driver for that device.

 

This package contains the Broadcom Bluetooth driver and software for supported models that are running a supported operating system. Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 Driver is required to enable Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 devices and is compatible with Broadcom Bluetooth 3.0 and earlier versions.

Hi:

 

What model wifi adapter does your notebook come with?

 

If you don't know, go to the device manager, click to expand the Network Adapters device manager category, and there you will find the name and model number of the wireless network adapter.

HP Recommended
The wifi adapter is

Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter

Hi:

 

That is not what I am looking for, but you are in the right place.

 

It will be a model such as Atheros, Broadcom, Intel...and it will have a model number too.

HP Recommended
This is what i found on Network adapters :

1.Intel(R)82579V Gigabit Network Connection

2.Intel (R) Centrino Advanced - N6205

3.TAP Windows Adapter V9

And last one was Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport Adapter....

I have 2 operating Systems on my Laptop ,one is Windows 7,32 bit and the other is Windows 10, 64 bit.

 

Bluetoth works very fine on Windows 10.

HP Recommended

Then the Broadcom bluetooth driver I posted should work.

 

If it doesn't, what is the name of the bluetooth adapter listed under the bluetooth radios device manager category in windows 10?

HP Recommended

Thanks a lot for the Solution 🙂
