Handoff Option is missing

[chevy57]

I just installed Yosemite Release and everything is working fine except one thing. There is no option in System Preferences -> General that states "Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices". My MacBook Pro (Late 2011) has this option so I know it's supposed to be there. Is there a way to set this with the `default` command or some how get this option in the General menu? Any help is appreciated!

Handoff option supported MacBook Pro 13" (Late 2011)?

What Mac are you using?

I now use my MacBook Pro (mid 2011) and owe new iPhone 6+ and iPad 2.

You need a 2012 or newer MacBook Pro to use Handoff. There's no workaround to enable it to work on older ones.

I got it working on an early 2011 MacBook Pro 13" using this topic.
Had to replace my BT card and edit a couple of files but it does work.
