bluetooth driver for windows 7

These are the steps that helped me in a similar situation:

Remove all device drivers that you already tried installing to fix this issue
Reboot
Install the Broadcom Driver 6.2.1.500
Pair the headset device with the computer
In the device manager, check whether there is a single "Bluetooth Periphal Device" listed with missing driver, if so, continue with the next steps
Right click on the device, select "Update Driver Software...", then "Browse my computer [...]", followed by "Let me pick from a list [...]"
In the list of hardware types, choose "Ports (COM & LPT)" (!)
In the following window, select manufacturer "Microsoft" and model "Standard Serial over Bluetooth link", then click "Next"
A driver update warning will probably pop up, click "Yes"

This is in short the list of steps described by Andy Dendifer in the Windows Forum. Look there for a much more detailed explanation, it's a humorful read.

Where Can I Get QC35 Drivers for Windows 7?

There aren't any Bluetooth drivers, that's not how Bluetooth works. Try restarting both the headphones and your computer, you can also try disabling and re-enabling Bluetooth on your PC. Lastly, you can remove your Bluetooth hardware from your PC using Device Manager, restart, re-install it, and then restart again. More on reddit.com

Anyone got them to work w/ windows 7?

Hi To make airpods work with laptop you have to install correct bluetooth driver. In my case in Device Manager I had "Generic Bluetooth Driver" after checking Device_ID and googling I found that it's Intel Bluetooth Chip. Than I went to Lenovo website and downloaded Intel Bluetooth Driver for my laptop model. Installed it and it FAILED. after that I tryied once again but this time I copied path where installation was unpacked(C:\DRIVERS\WIN\IntelBT) I went to that folder and found driver installation under C:\DRIVERS\WIN\IntelBT\Win7\vs64 and started file "Intel Bluetooth.msi" It installed driver so now I can see "Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R)" in Device Manager. Once done just add airpods as any other bluetooth device. More on reddit.com
