Hi SueLaker,

Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Community.

Like everything else in your computer, Bluetooth requires both hardware and software. A Bluetooth adapter supplies Bluetooth hardware. If your PC didn’t come with the Bluetooth hardware installed, you can easily add it by purchasing a Bluetooth USB dongle.

. What is the make and model of the computer?

I would suggest you to check the specification of your computer.

To determine whether your PC has Bluetooth hardware, check the Device Manager for Bluetooth Radio by following the steps:

a.    Drag the mouse to bottom left corner and right-click on the ‘Start icon’.

b.    Select ‘Device manager’.

c.    Check for Bluetooth Radio in it or you can also find in Network adapters.

If you need further assistance on this particular issue, let us know and we will be glad to assist you.

    I think you should go on Control Panel. ( you could find in my computer upright top)  

    then under Hardware and Sounds you will find

    it saying Add a Device you click that

    and go on your android phone/tablet turn on Bluetooth and turn it to visible and your pc will find

    you click on it and press on where it says your phone's name and then press next and your phone will say pair / cancel press pair and on your pc press pair too and your done.
