Help S5 bluetooth driver won't install on notebook

MissAB

My HP notebook was recently reinstalled with Window 7 Professional 64bit. Now it won't share files with my Samsung galaxy S5 via bluetooth (and vice versa). When pairing the 2, Windows states "device driver software not successfully installed".

Windows support suggests the problem is with my device (phone) and I should download the driver directly from the manufacturer's website. I would attempt this but can't seem to find the driver download link. Can someone please help a girl out?

I tried sharing to a friend's phone (S3 mini), with whome I'd successfully bluetoothed files prior to Windows reinstallation = same problem persisted as with my phone, which indicates to me that the problem lies with Windows, but I'm willing to try anything.
 
I ended up having to reinstall bluetooth driver, software & support software from the HP website. Still, thank you very much for your time and effort.
