1. Pair your Bluetooth device(s) with Linux **first**
2. Reboot into Windows, then re-pair the devices with Windows
3. Run `regedit` **as Administrator**
4. Navigate to:
```
4. Navigate to:
```text
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BTHPORT\Parameters\Keys
```
If you **do not see any Keys under the tree** then you need to open `regedit` as a system-account user. One way to do this is using the PsExec by [downloading it from Microsoft Sysinternals](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec). Once it is downloaded, you will need to run a command-prompt **as Administrator** and navigate to the location `PsExec` is unzipped and run `PsExec.exe -s -i regedit`. The Bluetooth keys should now be visible.
5. Right-click on `Keys` in the left-hand pane and select `Export`. During the dialog change `Save as type` to `Text files` and that the `Export range` is set to `Selected branch`. Store this somewhere **accessible by both Windows and Linux** -- if a shared drive is unavailable, use a USB drive or cloud-storage.

9. Open the `info` file, with root privileges, in the text editor of your choice.
10. In another tab/window, using either a text viewer or editor, open the **previously exported Windows registry text file for the device**
11. From the **Windows** file, copy the Bluetooth Key. Example:
```
```text
00000000 31 c0 08 fa 4f 7b d2 4c - 6f e1 7d ba 32 29 a9 a7 1À.ïO{ÒLoá}ºQ)©§
```
_From the above copy `31 c0 .... a9 a7`_
12. Paste the key from the previous step into the `Key=` portion of the **Linux** Bluetooth `info` file. Make sure to **remove all spaces, hyphens, and change all characters to upper-case (all-caps)**.
13. Save the `info` file with the changes to complete device sharing. Repeat for any other Bluetooth devices to share.
