Open Start 
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/0/07/Windowsstart.png”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/07/ Windowsstart.png/30px-Windowsstart.png”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:460,”bigWidth”:30,”bigHeight”:30,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
. Click the Windows icon in the lower left corner of the screen.
- You can also right-click Start to open the advanced settings menu.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/86/1284290-2.jpg/v4-460px-1284290-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https:// www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/86/1284290-2.jpg/v4-728px-1284290-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:344,”bigWidth”:728,” bigHeight”:545,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Open Device Manager. Type device manager , then click Device Manager in the Start menu and the screen will show this window.

Look for the “Bluetooth” heading. If you see a “Bluetooth” heading near the top of the window (under the letter “B”), your computer has built-in Bluetooth.
- If you don’t see the “Bluetooth” heading, your computer doesn’t have Bluetooth built-in.

. When you click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, you will see a drop-down menu.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f8/1284290-5.jpg/v4-460px-1284290-5.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https:// www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f8/1284290-5.jpg/v4-728px-1284290-5.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:343,”bigWidth”:728,” bigHeight”:543,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Click About This Mac in the drop-down menu and a new window will appear.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/de/1284290-6.jpg/v4-460px-1284290-6.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https:// www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/de/1284290-6.jpg/v4-728px-1284290-6.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:346,”bigWidth”:728,” bigHeight”:548,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5e/1284290-7.jpg/v4-460px-1284290-7.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https:// www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5e/1284290-7.jpg/v4-728px-1284290-7.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:344,”bigWidth”:728,” bigHeight”:545,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Expand the “Hardware” section. Click on the triangle pointing to the right
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/3/3a/Android7expandright.png”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3a/ Android7expandright.png/30px-Android7expandright.png”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:460,”bigWidth”:30,”bigHeight”:30,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output “></div>”}
to the left of the “Hardware” heading, and you’ll see a list of subtitles show up below it.
- If the triangle next to “Hardware” is facing down, this list has been expanded.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/06/1284290-8.jpg/v4-460px-1284290-8.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https:// www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/06/1284290-8.jpg/v4-728px-1284290-8.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:347,”bigWidth”:728,” bigHeight”:549,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Look for the “Bluetooth” heading. Below the “Bluetooth” heading, try looking for the “Bluetooth” subheading near the top of the hard drive selection list.
- If you don’t see the “Bluetooth” heading here, your Mac doesn’t have Bluetooth built-in.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/aa/1284290-9.jpg/v4-460px-1284290-9.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https:// www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/aa/1284290-9.jpg/v4-728px-1284290-9.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:344,”bigWidth”:728,” bigHeight”:544,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Verify your Mac has Bluetooth. If you see a “Bluetooth” sub-title, left-click to select it. After clicking, if you see Bluetooth information on the right side of the window, your Mac has Bluetooth built in; otherwise, the device does not allow Bluetooth.
On Linux operating system
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a9/1284290-10.jpg/v4-460px-1284290-10.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https:// www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a9/1284290-10.jpg/v4-728px-1284290-10.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:342,”bigWidth”:728,” bigHeight”:541,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Open Terminal. Click or double-click Terminal with the black box icon with an extra “>_” at the top.
- You can also press Alt + Ctrl + T to open Terminal on most versions of the Linux operating system.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1f/1284290-11.jpg/v4-460px-1284290-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https:// www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1f/1284290-11.jpg/v4-728px-1284290-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:343,”bigWidth”:728,” bigHeight”:543,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Enter the Bluetooth search command. Type the following command and press ↵ Enter :
sudo lsusb | grep Bluetooth
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a2/1284290-12.jpg/v4-460px-1284290-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https:// www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a2/1284290-12.jpg/v4-728px-1284290-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:344,”bigWidth”:728,” bigHeight”:545,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Enter your password. When prompted, type your computer login password, then press ↵ Enter .
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/fb/1284290-13.jpg/v4-460px-1284290-13.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https:// www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/fb/1284290-13.jpg/v4-728px-1284290-13.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:343,”bigWidth”:728,” bigHeight”:543,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
See results. If the next line in Terminal shows the name and manufacturer of Bluetooth, your computer has Bluetooth installed.
- If you see a blank line, your computer does not have Bluetooth installed.
- Note that some versions of Linux do not support a built-in Bluetooth adapter.
Advice
- You can attach a Bluetooth USB to your computer to use Bluetooth if your computer doesn’t have a built-in adapter.
Warning
- The Linux operating system often does not recognize the Bluetooth adapter or USB, especially when your computer is old.
