Hi Ahsan Mughal,
The inspiron N 5110 is not tested with Windows 8.1, hence there are no drivers available. Please let me know how did you installed the Windows 8.1 and what was the previous operating system.

Hi,
when uninstalling the "Dell WLAN and Bluetooth client installation", which i supposed to be the driver from programs and features. It says "Installer can not run on this platform. Please select package for your operating system."

Please uninstall the Dell WLAN and Bluetooth driver from device manager, follow the steps below.
Start > in search box type in device manager > under the network > select the wireless and bluetooth and right click on it and uninstall and check the box (delete the software for this device). Restart your computer. Install the Dell wireless/bluetooth driver which I have provided in my previous post.

Hi Deepak,
The Inspiron N 5110 is not tested with Windows 8.1; hence there are no drivers available. However, you can try installing the wireless driver (windows 8) in the compatibility mode.

Choose the appropriate wireless driver for your system and install it, Follow the steps below to install in compatibility mode
Right Click the driver installation file and select Properties/Compatibility Tab > check the box run this program in compatibility mode, Select the appropriate options.

I have had the same problem on my Inspiron laptop (service tag <ADMIN NOTE: Service tag removed per privacy policy>) with Windows 8. Loaded Windows 8.1 and Bluetooth no longer works. Tried your suggestions and still will not recognize any of Bluetooth devices. It just keeps searching for a device. Another odd thing is in the device manager under bluetooth, one of my devices-my phone-shows up. Do not understand why, since it never recognizes it. My phone does not show the Dell on it like it used to before.

This describes a working solution for Inspiron 15 3521. Perhaps will work for you. I am having the same problem and am about to try this.

Hello. I was facing the same issue that you were facing. The comments mentioned above me did not solve my problem.
Instead, i came across this site, download the bluetooth driver from here for Windows 8.1. It is the one that is around 250mb. Install it, it provides the necessary drivers and enables the laptop bluetooth! I hope this solves your issue as well
