Oh, Gawd! FINALLY!


I have sweat blood trying to get Windows 7 to stream audio
over bluetooth. Windows 10 works out of the box even with
those absurdly small USB dongles.

Nope that's not a difference between Windows 10 and Windows XP/7.


I am not the only person that has failed with Windows 7.

You *could* stream audio over Bluetooth on Windows XP and ever since,
i.e. also on Windows 7. It only needed the proper driver, profiles,
etc., but those were (and are) supplied with/for the Bluetooth adapter
(probably a USB 'dongle' on XP).


I have an Acer One Aspire running Windows 7.
Please tell me how you did it.

I never had 7, but did it on XP, Vista and now 8.1. As I wrote, you
have to get the driver, profiles, etc. for *your* Bluetooth adapter/
dongle. So if the standard Microsoft supplied drivers/software does not
work, then determine (if needed with Device Manager) which adapter/
dongle you have and then go the website of the manufacturer.

FWIW, for Vista (i.e. earlier than 7) the standard Microsoft supplied
drivers/software *did* work for *my* dongle (TRUST 18187 Bluetooth 4.0
adapter, CSR (Cambridge Silicon Radio) chipset). YMMV/YMWV.
