Is it possible to get bluetooth working on laptop that didn't originally have it.

Bought Intel AC-7620 which comes with bluetooth. Wifi works but this computer didn't have bluetooth capabilities before and I've installed the intel wireless proset drivers for wifi and bluetooth. I've also tried getting the bluetooth stack from toshiba but every time it tries to install the bluetooth stack it asks me to plug in a bluetooth device and I don't have a bluetooth dongle/device to plug in (why is it even asking that when I have bluetooth on the wifi card).

What do I do. I'm desperate to get this working. My laptop is Toshiba protege r835-p70

Since there's no Bluetooth from Toshiba, then Toshiba driver can't be installed.
Can you post a link to the AC-7620 you bought?

But the bluetooth stack is available for download under my model/serial number.

Have you installed the Bluetooth software and drivers for the Intel adapter?

Yes it is there for download, for a different hardware. Remember you bought a different card.

It's like wondering why you can't find the spark plugs in a Porsche 911 when you are looking right were the manual tells you do. A manual for a Toyota Accord.
