Bluetooth has become indispensable these days, letting you transfer data from one device to another. If you’re wondering how to find if your laptop has Bluetooth or not, here’s a guide on how you can check your laptop’s bluetooth capability in Windows Vista:

Click on the Start Menu and go to Control Panel

find-if-laptop-has-bluetooth-1

The Control Panel Window will appear, as you can see in the screenshot below. Click on Network and Internet.

find-if-laptop-has-bluetooth-2

A new page will open, as you can see below. If you can see an option that says Bluetooth Devices, your laptop has bluetooth capability.

find-if-laptop-has-bluetooth-3

If you don’t see the options for Bluetooth settings, your laptop probably doesn’t have Bluetooth. So, that’s how you can find if your laptop has bluetooth or not.

    I was sure that my dad’s computer had bluetooth, even though I couldn’t find anything about it in the control panel, so I studied the system and the device manager instead and there they are, 4 bluetooth ports that I am unable to connect to or edit the settings for. They’re all set to enabled and everything… It doesn’t make sense, why would the computer lie to me? Or is it saying that I have these ports that I can possibly connect a device to if I wanted; meaning one of those USB/bluetooth do-dats? Surely my phone is the device it’s talking about?!

    What if your not under administrator account? Would the “Bluetooth Devices” be there or do you have to be logged in as administrator?

  • Bamboori

    it doesnt really means you dont have bluetooth, sometimes you just dont have the program for it installed… lacking intelligence? 

  • Wullieboyy

    hi, I  understand what you mean although just under my screen to the right is the bluetooth logo and its lighting up but I cant find bluetooth on my laptop, does this mean I can download it or would it be hardware ?

  • Jackson

    This is totally wrong! My laptop does NOT have Bluetooth, yet I have the “Bluetooth Devices” option in Vista. It’s there in case you need it… as in adding a Bluetooth adapter via USB.
