My laptop (Toshiba) obviously has no bluetooth function.

Can I set up / install them later?

Jo

Does your laptop even have bluetooth?

Ch

No. Unfortunately not. However, there are hints on the net to be able to download it later. Is that nonsense?

Br

You can upgrade it. There are bluetooth USB adapters. You can actually get the parts in every electronics store and of course on the Internet.

Ke

There are USB Bluetooth adapters for 10 to 15 euro that you can use to upgrade your device.

Ch

Ah, great, thanks. I'll have a look. Do I have to pay attention to something? Are there variants that may not be compatible?

Ke

Compatible

to what? The thing or its driver must be compatible with the operating system you are using. This is prominently stated in the respective product description.

There are USB dongles for this. Something like this:

This is probably the easiest way to retrofit Bluetooth.

The USB outputs on my laptop are all narrow, about 12mm. The adapters offered seem too wide to me, more like 16 mm.

Another tip for a specific one on Amazon?

The USB ports are always the same size
