Which Bluetooth version do I have in Windows 10 or Windows 11?

By Turn Bluetooth on or off You can troubleshoot Bluetooth issues.

In some cases you need to know which Bluetooth version is in your computer. This can help you understand whether devices can communicate with each other via Bluetooth, and/or whether you may need to replace the Bluetooth chip with a Bluetooth dongle.

If the devices that connect to, for example, your new smartphone also support the latest Bluetooth standard, there will be greater efficiency, better performance and probably less interference.

So knowing the Bluetooth version of your device connected to your computer can help troubleshoot problems.

Which Bluetooth version do I have in Windows 10 or Windows 11

In both Windows 10 and Windows 11 open Device Manager. When Device Manager is open, click on the Bluetooth options and then click on the installed Bluetooth device.

The name of this device may differ depending on whether it concerns a chip in your computer or a dongle. Double-click the device to open its properties.

Click on the Advanced tab to find out the “Firmware Version”. We can use the “Firmware version” to look up a Bluetooth version.

In the example above you see firmware version “LMP 6.0”, remember this firmware version.

Via the Microsoft site We can use a table to look up which Bluetooth version this concerns.

If we look up “LMP 6.0” in the table below we see “Bluetooth Core Specification 4.0”. That means Bluetooth version 4.0.

I hope this has helped you identify which Bluetooth version your Bluetooth device supports via your computer. Thank you for reading!
