However, Bluetooth has been around since 1994 and, although useful for transmitting audio and connecting devices, is not suitable for transferring large files. Wi-Fi Direct can be seen as a solution to this problem and will likely replace Bluetooth in the next few years.

At this stage, Wi-Fi Direct is not as popular as Bluetooth. However, when used successfully, this is a very useful feature to transfer data between Windows 10 and other suitable devices.
