The title seems misleading, and your Bluetooth works on Linux but not on Windows 10. You have Windows 8 and 7 drivers for your chipset, but you're stuck with no option to switch without booting into Linux. Your Acer TravelMate 5742 is likely fine, but you need a compatible driver or alternative setup to connect your Wii remote without switching OS every time.

Set up Windows 7, because the driver won’t function on version 10 and without a compatible driver for Windows 10 it can’t be used.
