    I was having major issues with Bluetooth when I installed Windows 10 so I thought I would share my fix since Dell is no longer supporting the M11x with W10.
    (I actually revived this computer from the shelf yesterday to try it out so I'm happy there is still a community that still uses this guy)

    1. Completely remove all Bluetooth Drivers
      1. Uninstall anything Broadcom with Uninstall or change a feature
      2. Uninstall everything Bluetooth in the Device Manager
    2. Restart
    3. Download the drivers from Lenovo at this link: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds031999
    4. Install
      • It might not install fully. It gave me an error when it got to the end.
    5. Restart
      • Bluetooth should be functioning. For me, it took several restarts for some reason to get some peripherals working.
    Hopefully this works for you...or it brings you closer to a solution.

    Thanks for sharing what worked out for you. Getting drivers for Windows 10 might be a long trial for some :)
