How to Turn On Bluetooth in Windows 10 or Windows 8.1
Some computers offer a button or keyboard key that allows you to turn on Bluetooth with a single tap. However, if you cannot find one of these, enable Bluetooth in your computer’s settings.
How to Turn On Bluetooth in Windows 7
The settings to turn on Bluetooth in Windows 7 are slightly different than in newer Windows versions. The Bluetooth icon appears on your taskbar or in the Hidden Icons folder to the left of the date and time on your taskbar. After you activate Bluetooth and made your computer discoverable, connect Bluetooth headphones to your computer or pair any Bluetooth-enabled device—such as a keyboard, mouse, or speakers—to your computer. The computer is now paired with the other device. They should automatically connect any time the two devices are within pairing range, provided Bluetooth is enabled on both.
Troubleshooting Bluetooth Issues
If you are unable to enable Bluetooth on your Windows 7 computer, or if you are not able to pair another device with your computer through Bluetooth, troubleshooting can help you find the solution.
