How to Install Dell 365 Bluetooth Module Compatible Driver for Windows 10
I got error on installing Dell 365 Bluetooth on Windows 10 because it don't not have Generic Driver for Dell Bluetooth I read about some problem on Insider.
But I found out that Dell has removed Windows 8 and Windows 10 support in some old Windows 7 laptops like N5030 that is my Laptop model.
Dell wireless 365,370,380 Bluetooth module is the most common Bluetooth device that Dell uses. Its normally supports Widdcom Bluetooth driver which is manufactured by Broadcom and Modified by Dell .
But fortunately the Windows 7 drivers are working fine on Windows 8 and Windows 10, and most of them are installed during the windows installation.
But the main problem is the Bluetooth driver (Dell Wireless 3XX module).
Because of that Dell 365 Bluetooth Module Windows 7 are not compatible on Windows 8... so it mean you can not install it too on Windows 10.
Broadcom has released their Bluetooth driver for Windows 8 PRO the "Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0" driver has support for a lot of Bluetooth devices and Dell Wireless 3XX Bluetooth module is in the support list.....But as Broadcom don't provide drivers directly to customers.... they give it to the system manufacturers like Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc. and the modify it for ease of their customers.
And Sadly Dell has removed Windows 8 to Windows 10 support for old model.
So here is the Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 driver from Lenovo site which is running fine on Dell 365 Bluetooth device without any compatibility issue.
And also you can use Bluetooth Control Panel as you do in Windows 7.
