Bluetooth! That wireless feature of many newer laptops that lets you
connect headphones, earpieces, keyboards and even mobile devices. You
don’t use it all that often, do you? It drains the battery when you’re

In Windows 7, you’d turn on or off Bluetooth by entering the Device Manager and hunting around a wall of text for the adapter to disable. Managing Bluetooth in Windows 8 is much more user friendly.
Turn Bluetooth on and off from this screen.
