Use Device Manager, which is a right-click on Start, and the Device
Manager is an item in the list there.

On my Windows 11 Device Manager, the word "Bluetooth" appears as
the third item down. Inside the Bluetooth item, there will be
many items in the list, and one is related to the hardware device.

    Asus USB-BT400        <=== Possibly a Broadcom BT adapter

In the tray area (the caret symbol in the lower right corner, you
will see a Bluetooth icon there. That icon will appear, after the
OS downloads the driver(s) for the Device Manager entries. That
icon in the tray area, is evidence there is a Bluetooth device present.

In the Settings wheel. there is a "Bluetooth and devices" entry.
even if you didn't have Bluetooth, that entry would still be
labeled the same way.

In Bluetooth and Devices : Devices , there is a "discoverable" slider at the top.
The "discoverable" will be entirely missing, if the BT adapter is unplugged for example.
I routinely plug and unplug that thing, when testing stuff, so I've seen the
item appear... and disappear at the top of "Devices" submenu.
