It looks like Microsoft has upgraded the Bluetooth Stack in Windows 10 v1803 from version 4.2 to 5.0. Before we list down all the new profiles, let’s talk about Bluetooth 5.0 in brief.

Features of Bluetooth 5.0

• It allows all audio devices to communicate over Bluetooth Low Energy including wireless headphones. This will save a lot of battery for your audio devices.
• Play two different audio on two connected devices at the same time from the same device.
• Better speed, and greater range.
• Data transfer speeds are up to 2 Mbps

So does it help you directly? The answer would be no. While Bluetooth 5.0 is backward compatible if you are using Bluetooth accessories that were designed for an older version of Bluetooth, you will not experience any of the new features. You need to buy new Bluetooth 5.0-enabled peripherals to get the best out of this Windows 10 Stack.

How to find if your PC supports Bluetooth Radio for 5.0 stack

You will need to use software like Speccy to see if your existing device supports Bluetooth 5.0 stack. The best way is to find out the spec sheet online, and notice if there is mention of Bluetooth 5.0. I would guess that not many will have it for now.
