Hello J.Wise86,
Have you tried the suggestion as britishdhez mentioned?
About how to turn on Bluetooth in Windows 8.1, please take a look at the following article.
http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/42347-bluetooth-turn-off-windows-8-a.html
From the Start Screen, press the Windows key + C to open the Charm Bar.
Click on Settings and select PC settings.
Go to the PC and devices > Bluetooth
Toggle the Bluetooth switch "On".

That's not clear. I thought OP might want to know about BT PAN. You don't.
Instead try:
wmic.exe sysdriver where (DisplayName like "%Blue%") list brief
