I purchased a BT 4.0 mouse that can also be used az a USB wireless
mouse, using a 2.4Ghz USB dongle. It works fine on my Win10 Lenovo
laptop in either mode, but on my older HP Win7 PC the BT connection
does not work. I wonder if it is because my HP laptop does not
"understand" the BT 4.0 standard or what? Could it be because the BT
4.0 mouse is not downward compatible with possibly an older BT
standard used by my Win7 PC?


Had the same problem with an older laptop with Bluetooth. Would pair up
nicely with speakers, but not with the BT mouse.

There may an updated driver available, but I haven't bothered looking.

In my case, HP lost interest in upgrading its drivers beyond Windows
Vista. But otherwise the thing works great with Win7 and I like its
construction that allows replacing any major component in it with ease.
It's the HP Pavilion model tx-1410us model.
