    I am for some reason not finding this to connect my Orochi? I have somehow lost my bluetooth icon on my start bar. Can someone help me get my mouse connected please?

    Bluetooth is assumed to be enabled in BIOS.

    When Bluetooth is enabled (Fn+F3) and there is no Bluetooth icon on the task bar, check the Notification Area Icons and see if Bluetooth is setup. It should show as "Show icon and notifications".

    Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> Notification Area Icons

    Also make sure the Bluetooth adapter is enabled.
