Hi,
My Laptop is running on W10 64-bit OS. I can't find the Bluetooth driver for it. Only available driver is this one:
Mediatek/Ralink RT3290
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp71501-72000/sp71572.exe
which is not compatible with W10.
Any fix for this?

Hi:
That is the correct and only W10 BT driver for the Ralink RT3290LE 802.11bgn 1x1 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 combination WLAN adapter your notebook has.

OPERATING SYSTEM(S):
Microsoft Windows 10 32
Microsoft Windows 10 64
LANGUAGE(S): Global
DEVICES SUPPORTED:
Mediatek Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter
Ralink Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter
Ralink Bluetooth 4.0 Adapter
Ralink Bluetooth Adapter
The problem I bet you have is there isn't even a Bluetooth device manager category showing up in the device manager because that is a very common occurrence with that horrible Wi-Fi card and the newer builds of W10.
There is no fix other than to use a USB Bluetooth adapter or go back to whatever operating system you were using before you upgraded the notebook to W10.
