I have Windows 8.1, and where I would have a Bluetooth section in the settings on one of my previous laptops, it's not here. What do I need to specify to confirm whether or not my computer has bluetooth capabilities? If so, what do I have to do in order to activate it?
 
Solution
You can buy dongles for bluetooth. I would make sure to get a broadcomm compatible one, and make sure to ask what bluetooth stack they use. Ones like Bluesoleil suck, but WIDCOMM's is quite functional.

Best bet is buy standard retail.

Never mind. I figured it out. My motherboard is the ASUS z78-A and, according to ASUS's site, does not have integrated Bluetooth support. Is there a way that I could get it externally?
