What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth is a technology that is used for connecting various devices wirelessly. It’s the preferred connectivity technology on mobile because it works well over a short range. On PC, it is commonly used to connect the machine to external peripherals and devices – most commonly, it is used for headphones. Keep in mind that similar to everything else on your computer, the Bluetooth technology requires both hardware and software. Even if you have integrated Bluetooth hardware, you still need the software drivers to support it. But even if your PC doesn’t include Bluetooth hardware, you can still add this functionality by purchasing a Bluetooth USB dongle.
