Are you able to find a model number anywhere? Looks like it's worn off the front, but maybe there's a sticker somewhere?

What OS? Windows 10 has a functional BT driver baked in... but it'll depend on the age/revision of either of those 'dongles'

can't seem to find a model number but these dongles are pretty old found them in an old box thought i'd use it for my pc

If the basic BT driver within Windows 10 doesn't pick anything up, and you cannot determine a model number....I can't think of any non-destructive way to identify a driver.

If you were really curious, you could disassemble and identify the chip being used within the dongle - and from there, could source a driver from the chip manufacturer directly (assuming they're not of such vintage that a driver for modern OS doesn't exist).

that website and the .exe i downloaded looked sketchy but thanks ill probably try it in a vm first

Agreed, but I could not find the driver elseware. You may want to scan the driver with an anti-virus before you do anything else.

Okay, it also goes by the name of XtechGO; the "X" logo is what has been rubbed off. The spec sheet says is was made to work with XP, so I doubt it will work with your Windows 10 PC.
