My computer will not connect to Bluetooth, light bulb, noise blocking headphones or anything. It never has, it's pretty much only used for streaming. Brand new.

Does it need to be reinstalled? Or do I have to waste my time going to the computer store, just to wait for hours for them to point out some stupid mistake I made.

It uses Microsoft Edge. I just use an evil Chrome browser to stream movies and music because the computer has no virus protection. Lots of MacAffe ads though.

My brain died from awhile ago, and the things I remember about computers are probably outdated. My world keeps getting smaller.

@RustyBertrand what do you want to connect via bluetooth?
You probably need drivers for whatever hardware you are trying connect to your windows machine.
Are you getting any error message when you try the connection?
Things I would do if I were you

  1. read the hardware vendor webpage for setup instructions.
  2. search for the error message you get and read first official documentation from Ms. windows pages and second stackoverflow threads with the same or similar error message

@chmod644 @RustyBertrand if all else fails, you could buy a bluetooth dongle (USB), not really expensive
