My Windows 10 Bluetooth Issue

[JoeMauriello]

Hello,

I have a fresh copy of windows 10 installed and the problem I am seeing all over the internet where bluetooth does not show up in my settings.

One thing no matter what I have searched that has been unclear is whether or not I need to install something or if I'm missing a piece of hardware entirely.

I am running:
-MSI Z170A GAMING M7 with Intel Z170 Express ATX Motherboard
-MSI GeForce GTX 1080
-Intel Core i5-6600k CPU @ 3.50 GHz
-ASUS PCE-N15 11n Wireless LAN PCI-E Card #2

It is an ACPI x64-based PC

Thats everything I thought might be relevant.

Once again, to be clear, my issue is bluetooth isn't showing up anywhere at all. Not in settings, I checked the device manager, etc.

So Am I missing Hardware or is it a software fix that is in order?

All of my drivers are up to date according to windows.

Thank you in advance for your help!

What's your Bluetooth device? ASUS PCE-N15 has no Bluetooth iirc.

I have no specific bluetooth device, I mentioned in my original comment that I was unsure if I am just missing a piece of hardware entirely. I don't know that much about bluetooth and what is required to use it. I just know what I put in my PC. I was under the impression that my motherboard or Wireless card might be able to run bluetooth as my motherboard is a brand new gaming board. Once again, I'm not very knowledgeable about this stuff. If the bluetooth can't run off of the motherboard or any of the components I have listed I might be missing something.

You could buy a Bluetooth PCIE card just like your ASUS wireless PCIE card, or a simple USB Bluetooth device, or if you don't have budget concerns, you could replace your ASUS wireless pcie with the following kind of wireless+Bluetooth card:
