Can You Connect Airpods to HP Laptop [Ultimate Solution]

AirPods are pretty straightforward to pair with a MacBook, but much more challenging to pair with a Windows computer, such as an HP laptop or desktop. It isn’t your fault. The AirPods are designed to work seamlessly across all Apple devices. However, since AirPods use Bluetooth, they can be connected to any Bluetooth-enabled device.

Therefore, AirPods can be used with Windows laptops or desktops that are Bluetooth-enabled. Almost all modern HP laptops support Bluetooth, so AirPods can be used instead of or along with a MacBook. 

How to Connect AirPods to HP Laptop

Here’s how to connect your HP laptop or desktop to AirPods.

• Go to the taskbar of Windows 10 and click the magnifying glass icon.
• Type Bluetooth in the search field, then click Bluetooth & other devices.
• Bluetooth must be enabled.
• To turn Bluetooth on, move the toggle to the right if it is off.

To begin pairing your AirPods, prepare them first.

• Make sure your AirPods are close to your laptop.
• It is time to open the AirPods case.
• Hold down the white pairing button on the charging case.
• A couple of times, the status light will flash white on the front of the case.
• You must release the pairing button.

In order to keep the AirPods paired, leave the case open. You will have to repeat the process if you close the case.

• Click on the Add Bluetooth or other device button in Windows.
• Choose Bluetooth from the “Add a device” menu. Windows may take a few minutes to detect your device.
• The AirPods will appear in the list of discovered devices when Windows finds your device. Double click the name of your AirPods.
