I remember using a program called Bluesoleil which can be found and downloaded from the below link

Before you can send a file to a computer using bluetooth you need to set your computer to accept this. How you do that depends on the bluetooth software in the computer but usually you have a bluetooth icon in the system tray in Windows. Rightclick on that and then select "Receive file" or similar.

If you are trying to send files to your phone from your laptop then some devices require pairing so you may need to pair your device 1st
On your laptop open bluetooth options and choose scan for devices also on your phone open bluetooth setting and tap make device discoverable then hopefully your laptop will see your phone then choose your phone and you may be prompted with a code which you will have to enter into your phone, once done you should be able to send files without having to make your phone discoverable and vice versa

The only way I'm able to do that is as per what Rickard said which is to right click my bluetooth icon found in the bottom right corner then choosing Receive File as below - If you don't have that then you should have in your options a setting to receive files or worded Prepare to receive a file

It looks and sounds like you need to open your Bluetooth program to get the other options needed in order to be able to receive files if you don't have such options then I'd advise you to install any software you might have for it or search for alternative software that will allow you more control over what options you have
