How do I enable my bluetooth on my laptop?

 Hello,

My question is: How do I enable my bluetooth on my laptop? What is the exact driver I need? I tried severals on the forum, but none worked.

HP Probook 450 G1 Notebook PC

OS: Windows 10 x64

Model #:E9Y44EA

Hi:

What model wlan card does your notebook have?

If you don't know, go the device manager, click to expand the Network Adapters category.

There you will find the name and model number of the wireless network adapter.

The bluetooth radio is also on that card.

Hi:

That wireless card does not come with built in bluetooth networking.

That is why there is no Bluetooth Radios icon listed in the device manager in your screen shot.
