- Save the folder (zipped folder) on the 'Desktop screen'
- Double-click the new icon on the desktop labeled R226750.exe
- The Self-Extracting window appears and prompts you to extract or unzip to C:\dell\drivers\R226750
- Click Ok
- After completing the file extraction, if the Self-Extractor window is still open, close it
- Open the following path: C:\dell\Drivers\R226750\Win32 (Follow steps mentioned below)
Note: The steps listed below are based on Windows 32 bit version is installed in your laptop. Please refer to the step-by-step instructions as mentioned below:

- Locate folder 'dell' and double click it

- Locate folder 'R226750'
- Locate folder 'Win32' and double click it
- Locate file Inst (Refer to the image below)
Right click file 'Inst'
- Click 'Run as an administrator'
- Click 'Yes' to continue if prompted with 'User access control' message
- Follow through with the installation as per the screen instructions
- Finish the installation and check for the Bluetooth functionality
- If issue persists, try using the 'setup' file to install drivers in compatibility mode (Next Step)

- Next, click on ‘Troubleshoot Program’
- Click on Program worked in earlier versions of Windows
- Click on ‘Windows 7’
- Click on ‘Start the Program’
- Do not hit ‘Next’ until the installation completes
- Once the installation completes, click on ‘Next’
Note: Though the recommended steps have exhibited some positive results, you may still experience Bluetooth issues as the laptop is not tested to work optimally with Windows 8.
Hope this helps. Please reply if you have any questions.

Hi Mittrayash,
Thank you for the response. It might be an issue with the Bluetooth driver. As mentioned earlier, this system was not tested with Windows 8. Hence the compatible drivers are not available. You may uninstall the Bluetooth driver from your system and try to install the driver as suggested by Rockstar natakuc4. It might work. Here is the link for the drivers http://dell.to/Z3YxGF
Hope this helps.
