Dell wireless 365 Bluetooth module on Windows 8 pro
Dell wireless 365,370,380 Bluetooth module is the most common Bluetooth device that Dell uses. Its normally supports Widdcom Bluetooth driver which is manufactured by Broadcom and Modified by Dell ......But dell has removed Windows 8 support In some old Windows 7 laptops like N5010.....
But fortunately the windows 7 drivers are working fine on windows8 and most of them are installed during the windows installation....But the main problem is the Bluetooth driver (Dell Wireless 3XX module)
Broadcom has released their Bluetooth driver for Windows 8 PRO.....the Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 driver has support for a lot of Bluetooth devices and Dell Wireless 3XX Bluetooth module is in the support list.....But as Broadcom don't provide drivers directly to customers.... they give it to the system manufacturers like Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc. and the modify it for ease of their customers.
So here is the Broadcom Bluetooth 4.0 driver from Lenovo site which is running fine on Dell 365 Bluetooth device without any compatibility issue and also you can use Bluetooth Control Panel as you do in Windows 7

No, not the answer on my Dell 1747 Win10 Pro.
I have tried everything I can find, but no good.
The Broadcom update coverall driver looks good, but them says "unload the previous drivers". And they would be????? (Can see list on "installeddriverslist" but which ones? MS? Broadcom?)
The supposed latest from Dell? Cannot load because it is "Not Trusted".
Thanks Broadcom/Dell/Microsoft!!!!!!!!!!!

No bluetooth card worked. No help from MS/Dell/Broadcom.
Went another route: Installed Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 with Bluetooth. Intel actually provides drivers that work! Done.
Perhaps I will rethink my next PC purchase............
