Bluetooth is one of the most common methods used to transfer the files between a mobile device and the computer, but many times the version of Bluetooth is not supportive which creates issues in connecting and transferring the files. While most of the Smartphones today support Bluetooth 4.0 or later, you won’t be really able to transfer the files if your Windows 11/10 PC is not supporting at least Bluetooth 4.0.
For those who don’t know, Bluetooth 4.0 is an optimized version of Bluetooth technology that enhances the feature while maintaining compatibility with other devices. It is also termed as a low-energy version of Bluetooth because it is supported by small battery-operated devices as well.
Not everyone is actually aware of the Bluetooth profile version of their device, which is quite important. However, we can easily check the Bluetooth version manually too, there are certain tools also available which will help you check the version of Bluetooth on your Windows 11/10 PC.
