What this utility is for
Bluetooth Version Finder is a small, free utility from Sordum that quickly identifies the Bluetooth version used by a device connected to your PC. It’s designed to be a fast, no-frills way to get the Bluetooth revision and some firmware details without digging through multiple Windows menus.
Who benefits most
- Owners of older desktops or laptops that don’t show Bluetooth details in system tools.
- Anyone who wants to avoid opening Device Manager and expanding device trees to find specs.
- Users who need to confirm compatibility before attempting features that require newer Bluetooth or OS support.
How to use it
- Make sure the Bluetooth device you want to inspect is powered on and paired or connected to the PC.
- Launch Bluetooth Version Finder — it doesn’t require installation for typical use.
- Click to scan or let the tool automatically read the connected device; the program will display the Bluetooth version and related firmware information.
Key features and outputs
- Detects the Bluetooth protocol version of the connected device.
- Shows firmware and chipset details when available.
- Provides a short explanation if a feature is unavailable due to OS or hardware limitations.
- One-click operation to save time compared with manual lookup through Windows settings.
Compatibility notes and limitations
Bluetooth Version Finder is most useful when Windows does not expose the information directly (older systems). On modern desktops, the OS itself may already show Bluetooth version data, but the tool still offers a quicker, single-step check. Remember that some features—such as Nearby Share—require newer Windows releases and specific hardware support, so the program may report that a capability is unsupported on your machine.
Alternative to consider
If you want another option, Bluetooth Terminal+ (trial available) is a more feature-rich app that can inspect Bluetooth connections and perform additional diagnostics beyond just version detection.
