Microsoft Wireless Transceiver for Bluetooth 2.0 Driver

The Microsoft Wireless Transceiver for Bluetooth 2.0 connects compatible Bluetooth peripherals to a Windows PC through a USB port. Its driver helps Windows recognize the transceiver and communicate with paired devices, such as supported keyboards and mice. When choosing a download for Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, check the package details carefully, as support for this older adapter can vary by Windows version.

Key Features

• Adapter recognition: Allows Windows to identify the Microsoft transceiver and load the components needed for Bluetooth communication.
• Peripheral connectivity: Supports communication with compatible Bluetooth accessories, subject to the profiles available in Windows and the accessory’s requirements.
• Windows integration: Works with the operating system’s Bluetooth controls to help you discover, pair, and manage supported devices.
• Driver recovery: Installing a compatible package can help resolve problems caused by a missing, damaged, or incorrectly assigned driver.

How to Install

1. Confirm your Windows version and system type. Check whether your PC runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit installation. Select a driver package that explicitly supports your configuration.

1. Connect the transceiver. Insert the Microsoft Wireless Transceiver for Bluetooth 2.0 into an available USB port, preferably directly on the PC. Allow Windows to attempt automatic driver installation before installing a separate package.

1. Download and prepare the compatible driver. If Windows cannot configure the adapter, obtain the appropriate Microsoft driver package. Extract it to an accessible folder if it is supplied as a compressed archive.

1. Install the driver. Run the included installer if one is provided. Otherwise, open Device Manager, locate the transceiver under Bluetooth or Other devices, right-click it, and choose Update driver. Select the option to browse your computer and point Windows to the extracted driver folder.

1. Verify operation and pair your accessories. Restart the PC if prompted, then confirm that Device Manager shows no warning icon for the adapter. Put your accessory into pairing mode and add it through Windows Bluetooth settings or Control Panel, depending on your version.

A driver update does not upgrade the transceiver beyond its Bluetooth 2.0 hardware capabilities. If a newer accessory requires features this adapter does not support, a newer Bluetooth adapter may be necessary.
