Hi,
I have recently built a computer and it is all working perfectly. Although I have a wireless pair of headphones that I cannot connect to my PC because it doesn't have bluetooth. I have looked for bluetooth dongles and I understand how they work, but in order to install them correctly you need to use the CD that comes with the dongle. Is there a way to install these dongles without the CD or is there something that I can add to my motherboard so that my PC has wifi?
Thanks in advance.

Just look for a dongle that has a driver available from the manufacturers website. I imagine most would. In fact I bet windows pics up most of them without a driver.

If these are just headphones and you don't care about the bluetooth controls, you can also just buy a bluetooth receiver.

Plug and play USB bluetooth adapter (no driver required on compatible OS)

Bluetooth transceiver
