Bluetooth is a type of data transfer between devices that are at a distance from each other up to 100 meters. Everything happens wirelessly. It proved itself as one of the best substitutes for inconvenient wires, because unlike wired analogs, it does not require any additional devices, it does not yield in terms of data transfer speed, it can connect several devices simultaneously, which you can not do with one USB-cable. And thanks to the progress in the field of home appliances in the near future with its help you can manage any utensils, whether it's a washing machine or an electric kettle, through your smartphone. Agree, the thing is quite useful. Now in many phones, tablets, laptops and even "smart TVs" this function is built in. But how to be the owners of personal computers?

Do not be sad, because, as we said above, you can install bluetooth on a computer. To do this, you just need to buy a bluetooth adapter in the store.
We choose the adapter
There are two types - internal and external.
Important! External connect to the computer via a USB port, and the internal connect directly to the motherboard via a special PCI input.
It will be much more profitable to buy an external adapter, since it does not require unnecessary manipulations with the system unit, which can be under warranty.
Important! It is recommended to connect the device to the back USB port of the computer, since you will probably not get it, most likely, you will still have free front inputs for USB.
We deal with drivers
In the complete set with the adapter there are always disks with drivers. First of all you need to take care of their installation:
- If there is no disk, then the address of the site should be written, from which you can download the desired driver immediately in digital form.
- If this information is not available, you can use the BlueSoleil utility by downloading it from the torrent, or devid.info, which has proved to be an analog with an incredibly large catalog of supported devices.
Important! If the bluetooth installation on the computer was successful, its icon will appear in the system line, and also in the section "Devices and printers".
In case of problems:
- If after installing the driver and connecting the adapter nothing happened, we recommend that you reboot your computer and check it again. Usually, after this procedure, the software starts working.
- If the device is still not detected, try inserting it into another USB slot.
- If this does not help, please contact with the receipt and the warranty card at the store where you bought the adapter.
If you have not yet installed the "Blue tooth" on your personal computer, then we recommend you right now to think about buying an adapter. So you will not only save space by getting rid of more inconvenient wires, but also facilitate the management of many devices at home and in the office. And how to install such a useful application, you now know in all the details.
