Hey! So a few days ago I brought my computer into bestbuy and they erased a lot of stuff off my computer and now Bluetooth is off my computer as well. Is there anyway to download Bluetooth into my computer or any videos that can explain it? I can’t use my headphone or my microphone because it says Bluetooth is disabled but there is no Bluetooth on my computer at all. Thank you!

    I am editing before posting and putting this first… Go to Start, settings, Then “Bluetooth & Devices” click that and make sure BT is enabled. (Simplest first!!!)

    Also, if had bluetooth before, then the hardware should be there. Assuming this is a Windows machine, go to “Settings”, “Windows Update” Or “Update and security” (depending on version). Check for updates and go ahead and install any needed updates.
    These will be security updates and might have the needed drivers with them.
    If not, on the same update screen look for “View optional updates” and click on it. Look for “driver updates” and click on the > next to it to expand. Either install all, or look for any related to wireless or blueTooth and install.

    After that, would check manufacture site. Also some models, if wifi is disabled, it will also disable bluetooth.

    Depends on the manufacturer of your machine- whoever makes it, they should provide the drivers for your device. A quick google for “make model bluetooth driver” (ie lenovo yoga bluetooth driver) should take you to the manufacturer’s site which will provide the drivers for you- it just may require you to specify the model.
