Well, that didn't work either.The package provides the installation files for Broadcom 2046 Bluetooth 2.1+EDR USB Dongle with First Connect Driver version 6.

Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and see if the driver installs that way. Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and browse to the driver folder 7-Zip created. Then go to the device manager and click on the generic bluetooth adapter.Ĭlick on the driver tab. Have 7-Zip extract to: and let it extract the file into its folder name (sp52717). The 2nd item listed is for 64 bit.ĭownload and save, but do not run the W7 bluetooth driver I posted again.Īfter you download the BT driver file, right click on it and select 7-zip from the list. I just explored the W7 driver file using 7-zip and there are specific hardware drivers listed that hopefully W10 will pick up.ĭownload and install the free 7-zip file utility. I have one last suggestion for you to try. I tried to install the HP bluetooth software for W7 on the notebook when it was running W8 (because the bluetooth was listed as a generic BT adapter, and got the same notification you got on yours. I have a HP 6930p business notebook and it has the Broadcom based HP bluetooth radio v2.1 and W10 installed the driver, and the device is labeled as an HP Integrated bluetooth module and it works. There are no W8, 8.1 or W10 drivers for that version of the BT radio. I can't understand why it quit working on the clean install. I do appreciate your attention and thoughts. Therefore, it seems to me, it must be solvable. I would accept your age explanation, except, as I stated earlier, it was working under Windows 10 for over six months, before I did the complete reinstall. I had already tried to update the drivers for both devices, and yes, it said the best driver was already installed. There are no drivers I could find for it from HP. Your notebook has a broadcom bluetooth v2.1 adapter, and it is probably too old to work on W10. It will either find one, or report the best driver is already installed. It may take several minutes for windows to look for a driver. The only other suggestion I can offer would be to be connected to the internet, click on the generic bluetooth adapter in the device manager, click on the driver tab, click on update driver, and select the automatic search and see if windows can find a suitable bluetooth driver.
