Is your computer equipped with a blue tooth radio device to support communications between it and your phone.
The actual devices involved in the process are important to understand in order to provide any help, so....
Can you give us the exact specifications for your Motorola Phone and the exact specifications for the device on your computer that you would expect to support Bluetooth communications between the two? Any links to the devices and their associated manufacturer's website might also be helpful.
Thanks.

EDIT: As an aside... not sure that this will actually help but it might be worth a casual read through just for educational purposes. http://www.howtogeek.com/201004/the-htg-guide-to-adding-bluetooth-to-your-computer/

Did you read through the link I put in my post above?
Do you have a Blue Tooth Icon in the notification area down near the clock in your task bar?
You need to make sure that your have installed the latest driver from Dell to support your Blue Tooth radio, you should check here Link Removed
It would seem that you have a couple options for your particular computer, if I've located the correct one.
I suspect it is likely the 1703 driver but it may be the 1704. You may have some documentation that came with your computer that may tell you which one it is.
Once the proper driver is installed and you've turned on Blue Tooth on your phone (it is not always or even often on by default as it impacts your battery) then it should be a simple matter of adding the pairing of the two devices.
