This little thing works... eventually!
Windows 10 didn't manage to "Plug n Play" this so there was a bit of messing around to get it to work. This seems to be a common issue so I'll run through what to do to resolve it, since once you get this up and running it's pretty darned good!
Firstly, if yours plugs and plays then woohoo! You're away. DO NOT install the driver as directed by the "Quick Start Guide" unless you are running Windows 7 or earlier. Installing the driver on Windows 8 or later will just screw things up and result in strange behaviour.
If you don't get it working straight from the box then type "Device Manager" in the search bar and have a look for a Bluetooth symbol. If not, look in "Universal Serial Bus controllers", click the little arrow to expand the list in either case and look for "CSR".
Right click and select Update Driver.
Next choose "Browse my computer for driver update"
Take the lower option "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my Computer"
Select "Generic bluetooth Adapter" from the list of options (If an option for "CSR Bluetooth adapter" comes up DO NOT CHOOSE IT under any circumstances!) and that's it!
Your adapter will work and be accessible from "Settings- Devices" just like a laptop with built in Bluetooth.
Enjoy!
