cascoh,

Assuming the Bluetooth option showed up there in the past, it’s possible that you have a driver related issue. Check out Device Manager and see if the Bluetooth adapter has a yellow exclamation mark next to it. If it does, there’s a good chance you need to update or reinstall the driver.

The Download and install drivers page offers step by step instructions on how to go about updating and installing drivers.

Hope this helps!
