As you all know, Bluetooth is one of the very useful features available on Windows 10, Windows 11 and later versions. Especially in an era where wireless devices are so popular today.
However, there are some Bluetooth related errors that a lot of people encounter, and usually these errors occur because the current version of Bluetooth is too low, resulting in the inability to use some features, or used intermittently.
For example, the Nearby Share feature (supports file sharing between 2 Windows computers), this feature requires Bluetooth 4.0 or higher to work.
Because Bluetooth 4.0 version has added Bluetooth Smart and Bluetooth Low Energy standards, and if you often connect external devices to your computer via Laptop, you should also upgrade Bluetooth to the new version, because it has been optimized to save more battery !
I. How to check Bluetooh version on computer?
There are many ways to help you know which Bluetooth version your computer is using, but in this article, I only share with you the two simplest ways to check.
Way #1. Check Bluetooth version on Windows computer (manually)
+ Step 1: You right click on This PC => then select Manage => and choose Device Manager
Or Another way is to press Windows + X => and select Device Manager
+ Step 2: You find the section Bluetooth => here, please pay attention to the Bluetooth section related to your computer’s name.
My example here is Dell Wireless Buetooth v4.0 => then we can immediately know that our computer has a version of 4.0 already. But not all models are always displayed like that.
+ Step 3: For computers that do not show the version, you do one more step: Right-click the computer’s current Bluetooth and select Properties.
Okay, here you go to tab Advanced => and please pay attention to the parameter that I framed in red in the image below. Like mine is LMP 6.8459 => then it’s Bluetooth version 4.0
Here is a list of all current LMP versions:
LMP 11 – Bluetooth 5.2
LMP 10 – Bluetooth 5.1
LMP 9.x – Bluetooth 5.0
LMP 8.x – Bluetooth 4.2
LMP 7.x – Bluetooth 4.1
LMP 6.x – Bluetooth 4.0
LMP 5.x – Bluetooth 3.0 + HS
LMP 4. x – Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
LMP 3.x – Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
LMP 2.x – Bluetooth 1.2
LMP 1.x – Bluetooth 1.1
LMP 0.x – Bluetooth 1.0b
Method #2. Use the tool to check the current Bluetooth version on your computer
