Most desktop motherboards don't have built-in Bluetooth. However, there is a healthy selection that does. Almost every laptop motherboard has Bluetooth though. Some ways to tell are that motherboards that support Bluetooth usually have WiFi functionality or come in the Mini-ITX form factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I use Bluetooth peripherals like headphones and wireless game controllers a lot, so every time I put a computer together, I make sure that the motherboard has integrated Bluetooth connectivity. I've learned the best ways to figure out whether a mobo is likely to have Bluetooth built-in, and for the most part, they haven't failed me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide, I'll show you how to check whether a motherboard has built-in Bluetooth or not.

However, you're more likely to find a motherboard without Bluetooth than one with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to laptop motherboards, essentially every single one has Bluetooth integrated into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why don't manufacturers make Bluetooth connectivity a standard feature on desktop motherboards? Well, it's hard to say but I think it's likely because there are superior wired and wireless connections available if you're not focusing on portability.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hardware-Tech-Engineer-Repairing-Motherboard.jpg\" alt=\"Hardware Tech Engineer Repairing Motherboard\" class=\"wp-image-5349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hardware-Tech-Engineer-Repairing-Motherboard.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Hardware-Tech-Engineer-Repairing-Motherboard-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Most wireless computer accessories like keyboards and mice use RF adapters for less latency, and for audio, a wired connection is always a better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering how a desktop motherboard without Bluetooth usually doesn't have WiFi either, it makes sense since a desktop benefits more from being plugged into the internet with an Ethernet cable instead of over a Wi-Fi network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, in some cases, using a Bluetooth device is simply more convenient. This is why it's great that there are motherboard options that have a Bluetooth feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Can_I_Confirm_If_My_PC_Has_Bluetooth\"><\/span>How Can I Confirm If My PC Has Bluetooth?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to know whether your motherboard has Bluetooth, there are some things you can look out for. This will give you a pretty good idea of whether a specific motherboard has Bluetooth built-in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bluetooth and WiFi go hand-in-hand when it comes to desktop motherboards since they tend to be on the same card or chip. If your motherboard supports WiFi, you likely have Bluetooth connectivity too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The form factor of the motherboard plays a big part too. Laptop motherboards are made to be portable and don't have the option of adding internal expansion cards for WiFi or Bluetooth. They also have a limited number of ports, and many are dropping the Ethernet socket to promote slimmer profiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You'll find that essentially every single modern laptop has WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. This frees you from taking up a USB port with a Bluetooth dongle, and you can use WiFi for your internet needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This also applies to the Mini-ITX boards, which are the smallest form factor of desktop motherboards. Since they are made to be as small as possible, they have limited USB ports and only one PCIe slot. For this reason, they typically have built-in Bluetooth and WiFi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice that your motherboard has antenna ports behind it, it's another good sign that it has the capability for both WiFi and Bluetooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you want to be absolutely certain that your new motherboard has Bluetooth connectivity, there are two methods I recommend for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Device_Manager\"><\/span>Using Device Manager<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Device Manager is a great way to check whether you have built-in Bluetooth on your computer since you can do it without opening your PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To use Device Manager to check for Bluetooth functionality, follow the steps below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Right-click the Start menu button in the bottom-left corner of your screen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click \"Device Manager\".<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From the list of device categories, there should be a \"Bluetooth\" option. Seeing the Bluetooth icon here is a pointer that your computer has Bluetooth hardware.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that seeing Bluetooth as an option in Device Manager doesn't necessarily indicate that your motherboard has built-in Bluetooth. It will also show up if you have a Bluetooth adapter or PCIe card plugged in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don't see any Bluetooth option, you either don't have built-in Bluetooth or your computer doesn't have the appropriate drivers installed for it.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Network-Equipment-Maintenance-Setup.jpg\" alt=\"Network Equipment Maintenance Setup\" class=\"wp-image-5350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Network-Equipment-Maintenance-Setup.jpg 500w, https:\/\/cpuforever.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Network-Equipment-Maintenance-Setup-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Checking_Product_Spec_Sheet\"><\/span>Checking Product Spec Sheet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The other way to check whether motherboards have Bluetooth is to take a look at the specifications for that motherboard model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All major motherboard manufacturers have spec sheets on their websites. So, all you need to do is search for the model name online and look through the specs. There will usually be a WiFi and Bluetooth section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One advantage of checking the specs is that it will let you know what version of Bluetooth your motherboard has. The newer the Bluetooth standard, the better wireless performance you'll get from your Bluetooth connectivity. Bluetooth 5.2 is a fantastic option, for instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don't know the model number for your motherboard, you'll either need to open the computer and look for it, or use the System Information utility on your Windows PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do the latter, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Press the Windows key + \"R\" to launch \"Run\".<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type in \"msinfo32\".<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Press \"Enter\".<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From the window that pops up, look through the entries until you find the one labeled \"Baseboard Manufacturer\". This will let you know the make of your motherboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that, look right under the previous entry and you'll see \"Baseboard Product\". This will tell you the model name or model number of the motherboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can now put these together and do a search online to find the official spec sheet of your motherboard.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Kind_of_Bluetooth_Adapters_Are_Available_for_Computers\"><\/span>What Kind of Bluetooth Adapters Are Available for Computers?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since most desktop motherboards don't have Bluetooth, you might find out that you're out of luck in that regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good thing is that you can still give your computer Bluetooth functionality. While you can't install Bluetooth as you might do with software, you can use a Bluetooth adapter or PCIe card to give your PC this kind of functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"USB_Bluetooth_Adapter\"><\/span>USB Bluetooth Adapter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bluetooth adapters that plug into a USB port are the simplest way to add Bluetooth connectivity to a computer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are inexpensive and most of them are plug-and-play. This means that inserting a Bluetooth dongle into a USB port will instantly install the necessary drivers to your operating system and you'll be able to use it right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B09DMP6T22?tag=cpu4-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"This product from TP-Link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B09DMP6T22\" data-aawp-product-title=\"TP-Link USB Bluetooth Adapter for PC Bluetooth 5.0\/5.3 Dongle Receiver Plug and Play Nano Design EDR &amp; BLE Supports Windows 11\/10\/8.1\/7 for Desktop Laptop PS5\/PS4\/Xbox Controller  UB500\" data-aawp-geotargeting=\"true\">This product from TP-Link<\/a>is a good choice.
