Step 3: Enable Bluetooth on Your Desktop
Next, you need to enable Bluetooth on your Windows 10 desktop. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Click on the Start button in the lower-left corner of your screen.
2. Select “Settings” from the menu that appears.
3. In the Settings window, click on “Devices.”
4. In the Devices menu, click on “Bluetooth & other devices” on the left-hand side.

Step 4: Pair Your Headphones
Once Bluetooth is enabled, your desktop will automatically search for nearby devices. Follow these steps to pair your wireless headphones:
1. On your headphones, press and hold the multi-function button (the button you press to answer a call) until the indicator light starts blinking.
2. Go back to your desktop and click on “Add Bluetooth or other device” under the “Add a device” section.
3. Select “Bluetooth” from the list of available devices.
4. Your desktop will search for nearby Bluetooth devices. Once your headphones appear in the list, click on them to begin the pairing process.

Step 5: Confirm Connection
After pairing, your wireless headphones should be connected to your Windows 10 desktop. You can confirm this by checking the indicator light on your headphones or by looking for the headphones in the list of connected devices in the Bluetooth settings.
