Does your laptop have Bluetooth hardware? In most laptops this is an
optional component.

I believe my laptop is bluetooth equiped, it has a bluetooth light on above
the keyboard which is illuminated next to the WIFI light which is also
illuminated. I think this indicates it has the hardware?

I would think so but referring to your laptop manual would be A Good Thing.
If after that you know you have Bluetooth hardware, install the
drivers/software for it. Get them from the laptop mftr.'s tech support
website for your specific model laptop.
