Hi, @Koasta 

 

Below is the link to the product specs for your notebook.

 

HP Notebook - 15-f233wm (ENERGY STAR) Product Specifications | HP® Customer Support

 

It does not come with built in Bluetooth networking or that feature would have been listed along with the 802.11b/g/n (1x1) Wireless Connectivity specification.

 

Below is the link to the parts list for your notebook:

 

HP PartSurfer

 

Your notebook comes with the Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bg/n 1x1 WiFi adapter, which is a single band, non-Bluetooth adapter.

 

Here are the specs for that model Wi-Fi adapter.

 

RTL8188EE - REALTEK

 

You have two options to add Bluetooth networking to your notebook:

 

Purchase a USB Bluetooth adapter.

 

Replace the RTL8188EE Wi-Fi adapter with this model which comes with Bluetooth.

 

Realtek RTL8723BE 802.11bgn 1×1 + BT 4 LE Combo Adapter   HP Part #753077-001

 

You can find the above model card on eBay.  Search by the HP part number, not the model of the Wi-Fi card.

 

Below is the link to the service manual where you can find the Wi-Fi card removal and replacement procedure.
