It comes with a single band, non-Bluetooth wifi adapter.

Your notebook did not come with built in Bluetooth, which is why you don't see a Bluetooth device manager category.

Here's the specs on the Intel card...no Bluetooth.

Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N + WiMAX 6150, Single Band

If you want to add Bluetooth networking capability to your notebook, you will need to purchase a USB Bluetooth adapter.

You're very welcome.

You can get a USB BT 5.0 adapter as long as it indicates it has support for W7:
