In reply to Leslie Jones.

Hi Leslie,

The only BT 5 from our list is from Techkey. If that’s what you’ve bought, if you search the Q&A section on Amazon for “32”, you’ll find the comment “An easy and perfect solution for old computers like Windows 7 (32-bit OS)”. So it worked on 32 bit Win 7 of one of the buyers. Sure, it may happen that it still doesn’t work in your particular case for some reason. If that’s what you’ve bought, for further assistance you can try to contact https://www.mytechkey.com/pages/contact-us.

I notice all your tech staff are rubbish, why should I say that well I think you read other writeups & go by what they say well read mine as follows, one big question no one goes any deeper for instance I am running windows 7 32bit and I have tried one make which had bluetooth V5.0 and it does not work on my system but it states all versions of windows 7, they sent me a replacement & that didn’t work,I asked on amazon does anyone have the same problem but all I got was yes it does work on windows 7, they are telling lies because it’s in the listing & I asked again but in more detail if users of windows 7 32bit then I never received a reply.I do have a windows 10 Pro machine with 64GB memory & bluetooth V4.0 but I do not like the way microsoft designed the main windows interface which is totally stupid & quirky & should have given us more variations to choose from, that’s my view anyway. So I ask did you test your recomended bluetooth adapters on every version of windows from XP upto windows 10 pro? & did any run on all versions of windows 32bit & 64bit systems?

In reply to Victor Kim. Hi Victor, It's unlikely because BT 5 speed is lower than even USB 2.0 so you'll still be limited by BT capabilities.

stupid question: does it matter what usb port I put my techkey bluetooth 5.0 dongle in? I have usb 3.2 gen 2 ports available, will that help transfer speeds?

In reply to Marie.

Hi Marie,

They all should work fine. TP-Link is currently on sale so its good value for the money. But if you won’t be satisfied with audio quality and need something fancy like aptx, there are Bluetooth Audio Transmitters you can try like https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083TD9VW4/ or https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G3J1I5M/ (but they don’t work for mouse, keyboards, etc).

Can you recommend a good bluetooth adapter to use for my 9 year old daughter’s hearing aids during her Google Meet classes? The school let her borrow an old Dell Latitude laptop that they converted into a Chromebook but it doesn’t have bluetooth. Thanks.

In reply to Tony. You can search for it in Windows Device Manager or you can install CPU-Z (or similar) and check it there.

In reply to Techs Motion Staff. Thanks for the feedback. I have another question. How would I determine what chipset my laptop uses? It's an Acer Aspire E E5-575G-55KK the only thing that I can find out is that it is 4.1
