Is there any possible way for me to use a bluetooth wireless headset on my laptop without having to buy an adapter?

[madditalian22]

So i got a wireless bluetooth headset thing for free. It was in a pile of junk that was gunna get tossed out while i was helping my friend clean out this house he rents to people. And i can use it on my phone easily. But i cant find a way to connect it to my laptop. Ive seen some laptops have built in bluetooth. Ive searched for it but i dont think mine has it. And i have no money to buy a usb bluetooth adapter for my laptop. Is there like a program or something i can download so i dont have to buy anything?

Soon find out whats the brand/model of this laptop? Look in device manager.

Anything saying bluetooth here? It maybe under network adapters

 

[madditalian22]

Well ive searched on my laptop and nothing comes up pertaining to bluetooth.

 

[Paul NZ]

And did you check device manager?

 

[madditalian22]

I did, i looked and i found nothing regarding bluetooth.

 

[Paul NZ]

Do you know what the brand/model of this laptop is then?

Download speccy then install it. See if anything to do with BT appears

 

[madditalian22]

Its a toshiba laptop but thats about as much as i know.

 

[Paul NZ]

Get speccy that'll tell you what the model is and hopefully if BT is on it

The model # should also be under it

 

[madditalian22]

Ill do that now

 

[madditalian22]

So its installed, what should i be looking for?

 

[Paul NZ]

Look under hardware in speccy for anything to do with bluetooth.

Or look under the laptop find the model # type it in google and see what that says

 

[madditalian22]

I dont see a hardware choice. on the left i see "Summary operating system cpu ram motherboard graphics optical drives audio peripherals and network.

 

[Paul NZ]

It should be under network. If its onboard

 

[madditalian22]

Not finding anything.

You'll have to buy an adapter then
