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

This software would be much better without GUI at all. Simple CLI with output like:
devise – bt version
devise – bt version
devise – bt version
PS. I know about /P
Hi , Thanks for your feedback, we would appreciate it if you could use an older version and let us know if the same bug exists.
Hi, great tool!
I’m confused as why it shows two realtek bluetooth adapters, one Realtek Bluetooth Adapter 5.2 and Realtek Bluetooth Adapter #2 5.0.
In device manager, I can only see one which reads 5.0 (LMP 9.3xxx)
Any ideas?
If we are not mistaken , You can’t. Bluetooth Version Finder had command prompt support. You can use it
how can I get it via winget ?
Supported operating systems: Windows 11 , Windows 10
Sorry, my bad. The error shall be "operating system not supported" when ran on my Windows 7.
I ran this on my Windows 7 and error prompted "operation not support".
You’re Welcome
When I insert my computer’s own Bluetooth card and another Bluetooth card and remove any of them, it shows the versions of both. In that sense, normally I did not understand much from the complicated texts in the device manager, but thanks to this program, it found its code and showed it in the interface in two different ways. I would like to thank everyone who contributed.
An idea for a new program: a small utility that locks windows when a Bluetooth device is far away, and that unlocks windows when the Bluetooth device is nearby.
console (cli) version pls
