Hi:

The product specs page indicates that your notebook does not come with built in bluetooth.

If it did, that feature would have been listed along with the 802.11b/g/n (1x1) wireless connectivity specification.

The easiest thing to do to add bluetooth, would be to purchase an external usb bluetooth adapter.

I use this one on my HP desktop PC.  It also works with W10.

Or you can replace the wireless card with one that comes with bluetooth.

Check the service manual to see how to remove and replace the wlan card.

If your notebook only has one antenna connected to the wlan card, you would have to get a combination wlan/bluetooth card that works with one antenna.

I think the only one that does would be the

You may use USB-Bluetooth dongle. Many of them around from $10 to $20.
