Confused about Bluetooth version

[xxAryaxx]

I wanted to check the version of the Bluetooth built into my laptop so I checked online to know how I could. You go to device manager and find your Bluetooth adapter and in advanced section of properties you check the LMP number. My adapter name is 'Realtek Bluetooth 4.2 adapter' which would suggest that it is Bluetooth version 4.2 but the LMP number is 9.xxx which corresponds to Bluetooth version 5. What exactly is going on here??

@xxAryaxx Is there any particular reason you need the version of the Bluetooth? 

While you respond to that, here's what you need to know about your finding:

Any LMP number starting with 6 (for example) indicates that your adapter supports up to and including version 4 of the Bluetooth standard.

I had problems with stuttering Bluetooth audio. That's how I came across the Bluetooth version.

So the LMP version only indicates the Bluetooth standard up to which my adapter can communicate? and the adapter itself is version 4.2?
