But I don't believe they work together... the model number on the chip is RTL8723BE. I got it from my Dell XPS 8900, but the groove cut is reversed. I could flip it, but it won't fit and it's too short for a screw. Everything suggests this isn't compatible. What should I do to enable Bluetooth? Any suggestions? B250PC, maybe just buy a USB Bluetooth adapter—though that seems like the last resort. Haha!

If the Bluetooth adapter doesn't work, you can use it until it breaks and nothing can fix it. It's simpler to get a USB adapter instead.

You'd prefer the ease because my phone doesn't connect to Wi-Fi directly on my PC. Is that correct?

WiFi and Bluetooth serve distinct purposes.

dell is suitable for creating certain items exclusive to them, often by altering the plug adapter connector so it can't be purchased elsewhere or used in another system.

Unless you change it yourself, remember that OEM PSUs are often simple modifications and straightforward to adjust.

The M.2 ports on the motherboard are key M, and the Bluetooth adapter is likely an M.2 key E. You’ll probably need a Delock Converter for M.2 Key M to connect USB and PCIe devices.

The M.2 slots are designed for storage only; they require an E keyed slot for wireless cards. You’ll need to use a PCIx or USB connection.
