If you do a clean install the chances are the bluetooth will work once it's done as it was designed to run on windows 8.1 you shouldn't have a problem just using the 8.1 driver for the BT hardware anyways although you might just need to install it after the OS installation is done if Windows 10 doesn't install a driver for it then just download it and install it manually

thankfully here's the Windows 10 X64 driver just for you and the rest are here

Joker97: There shouldn't be any reason why you shouldn't upgrade to 10. There must be a way around the Bluetooth driver issue. If it's not a deal breaker if upgrade to 10 and worry about blue tooth after. My 10 year old Vista laptop ran it fine..
foxy38: many thanks...sort of a 50/50 on wether ill upgrade...
I'd try downloading the Windows 10 drivers from Toshiba i.e. http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p50/psptsa-00x006/download?os=33
Try Broadcom Bluetooth Filter Driver package, Intel Bluetooth filter driver package, Realtek bluetooth filter driver package.
Once downloaded, open Device Manager and 'uninstall' the drivers which show in the compatability checker as having a problem (the HFP Sco Driver and Bluetooth A2DP Sink). These might show up under System dev
Then try installing the downloaded packages (until you find out if it is Realtek, broadcom or Intel)
If that doesn't work, you might need to try downloading the BIOS update from that link and running it
P.S you'll have to run the command at this link http://www.thewindowsclub.com/manually-run-windows-10-compatibility-appraiser after making any changes (i.e. updating drivers) - or wait a couple of days until Windows re-prompts you to update.
