How to Check Bluetooth Versions on Windows 11
You can check your Bluetooth version on Windows 11 by locating the LMP (Link Manager Protocol) number in Device Manager.
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that lets you connect devices like headphones and keyboards to your PC without cables. Knowing your specific Bluetooth version, often identified by an LMP number like LMP 12.76 on Windows 11, is crucial for ensuring compatibility and troubleshooting connection issues.
This LMP number directly corresponds to the Bluetooth standard your hardware supports. Understanding this helps you determine if your PC can work with newer accessories or features such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
It also helps you identify potential hardware limitations that might affect device connectivity or signal strength.
Find your Bluetooth version in Windows 11 by opening Device Manager, expanding “Bluetooth,” right-clicking your Bluetooth adapter, selecting “Properties,” and checking the ” LMP” number under the “Advanced” tab. This LMP number indicates your hardware’s Bluetooth standard.
