DV7-6163us
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I am a trying to attach a bluetooth wireless mouse to my DV7-6163us.  I looked in my device drivers and didn't see anything "bluetoothy" so I downloaded and installed these 3 files sp52532, sp55063, sp55138.  All seemed to install correctly but I'm still not seeing anything my device drivers.  What am I missing?

Your won't miss anything just wasting your time. Problem is from your machine which does NOT have built-in Bluetooth. Its specs

And it is an old machine, replacing wifi card may not be an option. Please use USB dongle:

There are many brands and models around, cheaper too.

Well I guess that would explain it.  Thanks for taking the time to let me know before I wasted any more time.
