Does my laptop have Bluetooth capabilities?
I have an HP Pavilion g4 laptop. I want to connect it to Amazon Echo via Bluetooth. How can I determine whether it has Bluetooth capabilities? I see a toggle button for Wi-Fi on the f12 key, but I see nothing for Bluetooth.
Regards,

Right-click the Start button.
Select 'Device Manager' from the context menu.
See if 'Bluetooth Radio' is listed as a category; if not, look for it under 'Network adapters' and under 'Other devices' (if present).
If you don't see Bluetooth Radio in Device Manager, you don't have it.

It's not there, so I guess I don't have it.

I think it depends on the specific model. See some of the results at hp pavilion g4 Bluetooth for instructions on some models to get Bluetooth working.
