Some of the features in Windows operating system is available only if you are running a specific or later version of Bluetooth. For instance, the Nearby Share (a feature to share files between two Windows 10 computers) requires Bluetooth 4.0 or later versions. Bluetooth 4.0 adds Bluetooth Smart / Bluetooth Low Energy standard in addition to the Classic Bluetooth specification, so it is a significant improvement in prolonging battery life of devices. The batteries in Bluetooth low energy devices will last several times longer than their classic Bluetooth counterparts.
Bluetooth version number is usually mentioned in PC’s manual or product information page on your manufacturer’s website. But if your laptop is few years old, you likely have lost the manual and might not be able to find its information on the web as well.
Check Bluetooth Version manually
We can use Windows Device Manager to find out the Bluetooth version .
1. Make sure your Bluetooth is turned on. You can turn it on from the Action Center toggle, or you can open the Settings app and go to the Devices group of settings and turn it on from the Bluetooth tab.
2. Right click the Start button to open its context menu and Select the item called “Device Manager“.
3. In Device Manager, expand the Bluetooth set of devices. You may see one or several devices under this. Look for Interl(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) or your Bluetooth brand name. Right-click it, and select Properties.
4. In the Properties window, go to the Advanced tab. Here, you will see a Firmware Version entry with something like LMP followed by a number, the number will correspond to the version of Bluetooth that you’re running.
The LMP versions Table:
LMP 13 – Bluetooth 5.4
LMP 12 – Bluetooth 5.3
LMP 11 – Bluetooth 5.2
LMP 10 – Bluetooth 5.1
LMP 9.x – Bluetooth 5.0
LMP 8.x – Bluetooth 4.2
LMP 7.x – Bluetooth 4.1
LMP 6.x – Bluetooth 4.0
LMP 5.x – Bluetooth 3.0 + HS
LMP 4.x – Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
LMP 3.x – Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR
LMP 2.x – Bluetooth 1.2
LMP 1.x – Bluetooth 1.1
LMP 0.x – Bluetooth 1.0b
For instance, Bluetooth adapter’s LMP version 6.x indicates that your Bluetooth version is 4.0

Hey, please send the test version to me. I have this: Web Link …
With Wi-Fi 6E + (Supposedly) BT 5.3 (with this: Web Link … ) attached to this: Web Link …
@Joel : Please don’t use fake email , we have tried to send you an email which include new test version of the Bluetooth Version finder because We don’t have any Computer which include Bluetooth 5.3 LMP. It is very difficult for us to develop new versions without user help.
En los Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210 no lo reconoce, ya que trae la version de Bluetooth 5.3 LMP 12.13, deben actualizar su base de datos
@Sordum Team, Thank you for your suggestion, I’m aware of your good intentions but I don’t want to report it to Microsoft. I would like to have as little contact as possible with a company that does not inspire confidence. Thanks to the programs made by you, how much Microsoft company "We care about privacy." Even if they say, we understand that the opposite is true. Thank you once again.
Learning the Bluetooth version via Microsoft, FAILED! Learning with the program made by you, SUCCESSFUL!
Please report related issues to Microsoft. The problem is not related with our software
I opened the advanced tab but there is no information, it is blank.
have you tried it ?
The BFV app needs to be updated to support LMP 12 (i.e, BT 5.3), as present with Intel Wi-Fi 6E + BT 5.3 devices.
Needed Software to detect Bluetooth version of any device connected to Windows 10 PC/Laptop.
This Software detects Bluetooth version only of PC/Laptop.
Does not detect a modern Realtek BT device onto a Huawei Honor Magic Book Pro 16". Need an update regarding the various BT chipsets.
USB\VID_1358&PID_C123\00E04C000001
Nevertheless the app has a nice UI/UX and has some potential.
There’s a way to do the same test using an smartphone?
APP, USB adapter and stuff.
I would like to know of a way to test a BT dongle right on the spot before paying for it or right after buying it, being able to complain no long after.
Not reconiged bluetooth dongle. But device working well with Windows 11,10, 7 machine.Company Name Eyot v4.o
we have noted it down Andre
Please add to the developer in the next version of Bluetooth V1.3 Turns on / off button
Bluetooth in Windows 10, and not open additionally Windows 10 settings and activate Bluetooth.
It would be more convenient.
Thanks for your programs!
