Hello marla253;

Does your laptop have a Bluetooth adapater installed?
You didn't give up the complete model number. It's optional on many models.

What you can do is run Device Manager and check to see if its listed in the Network Adapters.
From the Start Menu type in device manager in the search bar at the bottom and choose from the Control Panel options.

If it turns out you don't have a Bluetooth adapter in your laptop you can add a USB external version like this:
