Old Dell Bluetooth Drivers

So, I have an old XPS 420 by dell. It's not a bad system for my needs, but I'm having a problem with some drivers.

The XPS 420 was originally a windows vista machine and the drivers were never updated for newer operating systems. 

I'm looking specifically for a bluetooth driver that will work for my system, which is running windows 10.  I'd rather dump my system than go back to Windows Vista. Fuck that noise.

Let me know if you need any other information.

Win10 should have PnP drivers for most BT adapters. Can you identify which one it is? Its under Device Manager and has yellow triangle if there isn't driver for it yet.

I can't find it inside device managers. I'll open my pc and make sure everything is plugged in when I get the chance.

So I guess its not integrated with mobo then. You might need to get cheep-o USB adapter.
