Thank you for the update,
I appreciate your time and efforts,
You're right, the answer is rather confusing, nonetheless, the answer to your query is = YES (you may use them simultaneously)
Bluetooth wireless technology allows wireless communication between a Bluetooth-enabled computer and other Bluetooth-enabled devices, and comes pre-installed on some HP computers. This document contains general information to help you understand Bluetooth wireless technology, its uses, terminology, and basic setup processes. You can find more detailed information by following the links provided in each section.
If Bluetooth is new to you, you may wonder why you would use it. The purpose of using Bluetooth is to make it easy to wirelessly communicate between two Bluetooth-enabled devices. The following list provides some examples of how you can use Bluetooth.
-
Wireless mouse and keyboards - Wirelessly connect a mouse and keyboard to your computer.
-
Personal digital assistants (PDAs) - Transfer files between your computer and your PDA.
-
Cell phones - Transfer files between your cell phone and your computer.
-
Digital cameras - Transfer files from your digital camera to your computer.
-
Printers - Print from your computer to your Bluetooth-enabled printer.
-
Headsets - Listen to your favorite music without disturbing others or entangling yourself in wires.
-
Computers - Share files between two Bluetooth-enabled computers.

Hey there! @Godxilla, Thanks for stopping by HP forums!
I understand that you need to know whether more than one Bluetooth device can be connected to your PC.
All Bluetooth adapters can support 7 devices.
You can hook up 7 devices, but only if they're all different types of devices.
Only devices that support "multipoint functionality" can have multiple hooked up at once and the choice of adapter doesn't make a difference.
Only Bluetooth 4.1 adapters support multiple devices.
You can only use one device per Bluetooth adapter.
Let me know if this helps!
Have a great day ahead! 🙂
