How do I add Bluetooth to my computer?

My computer is only a year old, but when I bought it I didn’t think I’d be needing Bluetooth. My new phone uses it though, and I’d like to add it to my computer. Is there something I can download?


Bluetooth is a protocol used to talk between different devices and as such requires a piece of hardware which acts as a radio across which the devices speak to each other. It’s not something you can download, but you can buy a Bluetooth dongle relatively inexpensively. It usually takes a few minutes to install the software you need and most modern operating systems will just recognise the hardware and install the drivers. It’s much easier than a quick trim fast cleanse and probably won’t set you back more than $20 from your local store.

Let me know if you don’t find one and if you tell me what country you’re in I can actually recommend one from an online retailer.
