We bought this Bluetooth adapter for our clients, so they can pair their mice/keyboard/headset. The Bluetooth option appear, can be turned on and off, but no devices appear in the list, even after the installation of the drivers.

I tried this adapter on two Windows 10 laptops. Windows did not find and install a driver automatically on either one, but I came to this site, downloaded the driver package, and was in business on both machines in a few minutes.

I bought this on amazon for my Mac computer running El Capitan. It worked flawlessly. Much better than expected. NOTE: If you already have an older bluetooth adapter inside your Mac, be sure to disconnect it so macOS only sees the StarTech adapter and it will work like a charm.

I just bought this because it states to work with windows 10, but the CD provided does not have an option for a windows 10 download option.

It is good if your Bluetooth device uses or has broadcomm compatible driver.
