Align the Bluetooth assembly tab to the Bluetooth assembly slot in the front panel, and push the Bluetooth assembly until it clicks into place. Connect the Bluetooth assembly cable, to the system board connector (see System Board Components). This is likely one of the mobo’s front panel usb header
Any original Dell solution will be a very old version of Bluetooth. Also may/may-not have driver-support in Windows-10 (64bit).
Personally, I think this BT-dongle a better solution (I have this BT-4.0 one, and also the older BT-3.0 one ... both work fine).

You can always contact Dell Spare Parts (1-800-357-3355). Have Service Tag handy.
A Bluetooth dongle might be easier because it just plugs into a USB port on the PC.
