Bluetooth laptop > PC

[alexfer84]

I don't have Bluetooth on my pc but I have it on my laptop is it possible to take the Bluetooth chip out of my laptop and put it in my pc?

(might sound dumb but I'm curious)

It probably depends on your laptop.

 

Some laptops have a Wi-Fi/ Bluetooth chip in the form of a M.2 2230. In this case you should be able to put it in a desktop with a compatible M.2 Slot

If it's an older mini pcie type card it may require a pcie to mini pcie card to be able to get it working. 

There's also a chance that it's directly soldered to the Motherboard in which case it may be easier to just purchase a pcie or M.2 wireless card.

Possiblr but you'll also need antennas for it in your desktop.

 

Really just get a 10-15$ usb bt 5.0 dongle its gonna cost less than trying to adapt that card

They make adapters that let you put a laptop mini PCIe card into a desktop PCIe slot. You would need one that also supplies external antennas, since laptops have wires embedded in the screen bezel as their wireless antennas.

 

A USB Bluetooth adapter would be cheaper and easier.
