Any device that connects to your computer needs installation. The modern Windows 7 operating system almost always recognizes new devices automatically.
Instructions
Step 1
If your bluetooth adapter is not detected by default, you can solve the problem yourself. Connect the bluetooth adapter to your computer using any available USB port. When connected, the system will emit a beep to indicate that a new device has been detected. Find the disc from the bluetooth adapter in the package and insert it into the computer's drive. If the disc is not included, download the drivers from the Internet. Be sure to check all downloaded files with antivirus software.
Step 2
Install bluetooth driver from disk. To do this, run the automatic installation or find the setup.exe file on the disk and double-click on it. Install the driver and other supplied software. The corresponding bluetooth connection icon will appear on the desktop and in the toolbar.
Step 3
Restart your computer to complete the installation process. After loading the operating system, click on the blue bluetooth connection icon to find external devices that support bluetooth communication. Follow the steps to establish a connection with a new device. Pair with an external device if you want to make a default connection every time the external device is within reach.
Step 4
Using a bluetooth adapter will allow you to quickly and easily copy files from your phone, back up important data, and also use your cell phone as a modem to connect to the Internet. Also, do not forget that a large number of various software is presented on the Internet at this point in time, which makes it possible to simplify the process of transferring files from a computer to mobile phones and vice versa. However, there is a large list of other functions.
