Does anyone knows if it's possible to add an internal bluetooth module to a T460p?

Regards

AFAIK you just need to replace the wifi-card with a wifi+bluetooth card, such as the Intel AC-8260.
Plus get the appropriate drivers.

That's funny, I have the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC-8260, I think that card does have Bluetooth but I see no entries under Device Manager

Check if BIOS/Security/I-O access/Bluetooth is ENabled.
Or press Fn/F5 to switch it on.

It was disabled on the BIOS, but still it is not showing up in Device Manager, Fn+F5 does nothing, I think that combination was on the older 7 row keyboards.
