Hi

 

While I agree with the above post, I just thought maybe....

 

SO

 

As an adminstrator, in a Command Prompt Window, type

getmac

This will list MAC addresses for those items that are present, and may not be connected.

A good number would be 3,
1 x Ethernet
1 x Wi-Fi
1 x Bluetooth

C:\WINDOWS\system32>getmac

Physical Address Transport Name
=================== ============================================
48-48-48-48-48-48 \Device\Tcpip_{D70F15B7-83BC-4FE7-B4B3-8CA52F52C8FC}
B0-5A-DA-DE-84-28 Media disconnected
48-48-48-48-48-49 Media disconnected

and then type

ipconfig

and in the long list look for named devices have a matching MAC address and any mention of BT bluetooth.

Along with Device manager this is a way to determine a number of devices especially those hidden...

If in doubt please ask.

Hello, and Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

According to the Product Specifications page for your device, there is no mention of BlueTooth...  😞

 

If desired, you could purchase a BlueTooth USB adapter to gain this ability.

I was certain that WyreNut would be right, and he was.  Also you now know he was right.
