You can pair the Bluetooth devices, so you can utilize other functions embedded in it. Many Windows desktops don’t have Bluetooth integrated into the motherboard, and the dongle is a close substitute. I have transferred images, pictures, and short videos through wireless technology on the laptop (integrated), desktop (dongle), and Android devices for several years. I’m going to cover the points that only an experienced user can reveal in this tutorial.
How to Turn on Bluetooth on Android and Windows PC?
It’s not uncommon for the new users to be unaware of it, so we want the readers to be apprised about it.
Android:
The instruction may differ on custom skin Android devices but this is how you can enable the wireless module in Android 10 or later devices.

Microsoft bundled basic drivers in the package, and you got Windows Update to cover the proprietary drivers, so you don’t have to hunt down for drivers.
Setup BT in Windows PC
I have suffered in the past due to the invisible options in Windows 10 edition. Fortunately, you won’t be suffering the identical fate and perform all actions that I have shown below.
Discovery.Notifications.Show the Bluetooth icon in the notification area.
Then click on “OK” to save changes.
How to Transfer Files from Android and Windows Machine via Bluetooth?
You don’t have to pair two BT devices to transfer the files and that goes for Android & Windows machines. With that being said, why waste time in pairing the devices and go on finishing the task instead. You have to click on the “Finish” button, or else Windows won‘t save it. Readers keep in mind that it is difficult to transfer larger-size files in the older BT (1.0 & 2.0) version. I have BT 1.0 and 2.0 devices and they have always failed to send larger (video and programs) files and timed out after a minute or so.
Bottom Line
You have grasped knowledge on how to share files from Android to Windows via Bluetooth. I quit sending larger size files over Bluetooth. Newer BT modules are powerful than the previous generation, but the backward compatibility is ideal for sharing smaller (< 1MB) files.
