Sounds possible, but I've never dealt with any fitbits

This has not gone according to plan!

I bought a Bluetooth adapter which seems okay. It is recognised by
Windows and the 'turn on Bluetooth' message has gone. However, it now
says 'Looking for Fitbit'.

The Fitbit itself is definitely okay as it pairs with my iPad. There
is a suggestion that it can only pair with one device and I would need
to unpair if from the iPad if I want to pair it with my PC. Is this
likely?

Does the device within windows give any hint as to whether it does have
BLE (bluetooth low energy) support?

bluetooth devices in general can pair with multiple devices, some can
only have an active connection to a single device at one time, not sure
if fitbits follow that general rule, what if you turn the iThing off?

Now resolved I think by changing the Bluetooth setting to make the PC
discoverable. I also updated driver.
