It's not clear for what reason that music streaming via Bluetooth is no longer available on Windows 10, although you can still access your device's internal storage and send / receive files.

In fact, Windows 7 has the ability to stream phone music through Bluetooth connectivity because the operating system supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) - one of the Bluetooth modes that support playback. standard stereo / wireless audio via Bluetooth is nearly the same quality as regular wired headsets, allowing users to play music on the phone and listen via the speakers or the 3.5mm port on the computer.

This mode has been removed on Windows 10, but it will soon be back as revealed by a group of computer experts after conducting a codebase analysis of recent preview builds of Windows 10. These reference to the Bluetooth A2DP feature has been discovered, suggesting it will soon be brought back to Windows 10 in upcoming updates.
