WIDCOMM Bluetooth for Windows 10 & 8

Pros

• Official Broadcom software
• Simple to use

Cons

• Windows Update support

WIDDCOMM Bluetooth for Windows 10 and 8 provides drivers for Broadcom Bluetooth devices.

Broadcom is among the largest names in wireless communication for desktop PCs, laptops and other devices. WIDDCOMM is a Broadcom brand with a focus on Wi-Fi adapters, Bluetooth adapters and so forth. Broadcom sells such devices directly. It also has partnerships with retailers like Dell and also sells its chips to third parties that then released derived hardware.

However you acquired your WIDDCOM Bluetooth solution, WIDDCOMM is responsible for creating and updating the drivers. Having the latest drivers available ensures optimal performance, a complete feature set and compatibility with Windows or another operating system. It is also often possible to use a generic device driver provided by Windows, but using WIDDCOM drivers ensures that you get all the features and the best possible performance that your hardware offers.

WIDDCOMM Bluetooth for Windows 10 and 8 is official Broadcom software, so you can download and use it without risking adware, viruses and other malware. Broadcom has designed a solution that is very easy to use. Users do not have to worry about their system hardware or software configuration.

Just run this software, and it will begin a four-phase process. The first phase involves detecting all Bluetooth devices that are installed in or connected to your computer. The second phase involves validating those components and devices, and if any validations fail, the software will provide you information and advice. Finally, the program will go online and download any and all drivers and other software that you require, and then, it will install them. A reboot may be required.

This approach is neat because you do not have to download specific items and this software does not have to include software for all possible PC configurations. On the other hand, you do need an active Internet connection. If you need drivers that can be installed offline, Broadcom does offer them, but they have to be downloaded individually and specifically for your setup.

Note that Windows Update support in Windows 10 and, to a lesser extent, Windows 8 may have made this software unnecessary. If your Broadcom Bluetooth devices are not being identifying by the operating system or are not functioning correctly, then you may want to start with Windows Update. Only if Windows resources fail to resolve your issue should you turn to this package as a solution.
