Bluetooth On PC?

I want to send pictures from my phone to PC. How do i do this and how do i know if bluetooth is on my PC? I brought it last month so do most new ones have bluetooth installed?



Thanks



Answers:

good question il keep an eye on this if you dont mind. No, most computers do not come with BT. WiFi is now standard on laptops. But BT is usually an extra cost item.



Since you just bought the computer, BT would have been listed as something it comes with. Call the company, if you need to.



You can also go into the Control Panel and see if BT is shown. It%26#39;ll be in there, someplace, if you really have it. Not there? You don%26#39;t have it.



Once you get it (you can buy an adapter for about $50), you may still not be able to send pics to your computer. It depends on your phone and wireless carrier. Some companies have disabled that ability. in the control panel on your computer, look for an icon about bluetooth. if your computer has this capability, it will be there. if not, you can buy what is called a dongle, a device which looks like a flash drive that you insert into a USB port. click on "help and support" in your start menu and the box that comes up will have a search box. type in "bluetooth." several results should come up-click on one regarding how to connect a bluetooth mobile phone to your pc and follow the instructions it provides. also look in the manual that came with your phone for extra or varying instructions If your computer has bluetooth is will say so listed in the specs that came with the computer. Most computers do not have bluetooth, it is almost always an upgrade option.
