Finding the Bluetooth address

Back on the Bluetooth & other devices screen, select your micro:bit and click "More Bluetooth options"

The Bluetooth settings window pops up. On the "Hardware" tab, select your micro:bit and click "Properties"

The micro:bit properties window pops up. On the "Details" tab, select the "Association Endpoint address" property. The value of this property is the bluetooth address of your micro:bit. Write this address down somewhere you'll need it to connect to your micro:bit.
