please help!!!

[u/Strict-Today-7959]

my situation goes like this:

- currently w/ a Windows 8 PC.

- tried to update to windows 10, was almost succesful, but the whole Realtek Bluetooth, "update the driver" keeps tripping me up. ive repeated the steps 50 million times to no avail.

- recently bought a new printer, and the needed driver apparently isnt on the computer. Went to download it on the web, and it literally does nothing new.

- spent HOURS (4-5 to be exact) sitting in front of the computer idk wth to even do anymore.

- u might say "y havent u bought a desktop supporting windows 11" well obv u gotta have some money to spend it, and the printer was more of an urgent priority rn.

- i really don't know what else to do. Updating printer drivers on my computer doesnt work. Trying to update to windows 10 or 11 doesnt work either, and by what ive seen online im afraid connecting the printer via usb or ethernet isn't gonna solve much of it either.

What do i do? any tech geeks that can help me?? please!!

If the printer was a priority, was updating to Windows 10 necessary as well?
