Bluetooth not working after fresh Windows install on new SSD

Hi folks,

Last night I installed Windows anew on a new SSD drive. Afterwards everything was working fine, however I no longer could use bluetooth on my PC. I tried installing Intel® Wireless Bluetooth® version 22.240.0 which I downloaded from the Intel website, however i'm not sure it did anything. I then tried downloading the Broadcom BCM20702A0 driver from Lenovo's website, this worked, however when I tried to use my Sony headphones, they'd only work with audio set to the much lower quality 'bluetooth headset' functions rather than the full high quality audio I usually get before my Windows reinstall. I then tried following some advice from a few folks on Reddit (big mistake?) and now my PC just tells me Bluetooth is completely turned on and I can't figure out how to get it all back up and running again.

If anybody has some tips or can point me in the direction of the right downloads, I'd be very grateful.
