    Go to the device manager and check see if there's any bluetooth device.

    If there is check whether it is installed properly, if not then try to reinstall the drivers for it.

    If for some reason the button does not work after this, try to manually turn on the bluetooth option.

    One more thing, you need to enable the bluetooth first. One it is enable, it will detect a bluetooth device. If it can detect a bluetooth device, it can prove that your mainboard already come with a bluetooth module, and try to reinstall the driver and right click the bluetooth icron for initialize the "Bluetooth Configuration Wizard" to see how it work.

    Cheers,
