Dell Precision M4600 Bluetooth

Hello, recently I upgraded to Windows 10 my Dell Precision M4600 and the Bluetooth module doesn`t work. The drivers are only for windows 7 and 8. Is there something I can do? Can I upgrade my Bluetooth module? What should I change to have the Bluetooth module working?

Thank you.

    For a compatible Wifi/Bluetooth card with Windows 10 drivers, you can try something like a 7260AC half mini-card.

    Thank you. I hope it works. The drivers then will be found automatically by Windows?

    Yes, you can also run Windows updates to find the latest drivers for them.

    I am guessing the old card used grey wire for bluetooth.  On newer cards, a separate antenna was not needed.  Just use only the black and white antenna for your new card.  

    Experimenting with swapping the antenna cables around until you receive optimal signals.
