Hi:

 

What model wifi adapter does your notebook have?

 

The model wifi adapter determines whether or not your notebook has built in Bluetooth networking.

 

If you don't know, go to the device manager, click to expand the network adapters device manager category and there you will find the name and model number of the wireless network adapter.

Hi, It is Qualcomm Atheros QCA9565 802.11b/g/n Wifi

Hi:

 

That model card is indeed a combination wifi/Bluetooth adapter, so the only suggestion I can offer is to make sure you have installed the W7 Bluetooth driver for the  Atheros QCA9565 adapter because the generic BT driver that windows installs cannot work the Bluetooth.

 

This package contains the driver installation package for the Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth in the supported notebook models running a supported operating system.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to troubleshoot Bluetooth connection issues, so I suggest you start a new post on that problem.
