Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology which can be used to connect to computers, wireless mouse and keyboard, mobile phones, headphones and other devices with Bluetooth functionality.

If you want to listen to music on wireless headphones or transfer files from your mobile phone to computer or vice-versa without connecting the two devices, you’d need to first activate Bluetooth on your computer.

In this post, we will show you how to use Bluetooth in Windows 10 and fix some Bluetooth issues in Windows 10

Steps to turn on Bluetooth in Windows 10

To open Settings window, press Windows key + I on the keyboard simultaneously
Select Devices

Click on Bluetooth switch to turn on Bluetooth. You will see On near the slider that indicates Bluetooth is activated.

If you cannot find Bluetooth option in Settings, don’t panic. We have provided some solutions that will help you get back Bluetooth settings on your Windows computer.
