Can I use 2 pair of Bluetooth Headphones non-simultaneously?

I recently paired up an old pair of Bluetooth Headphones. However I find that only the recent pair that I added will connect. The other pair that I had connected will no longer connect. I saw a YouTube video on how you can connect 2 Bluetooth headphones to a Laptop. But I couldn’t see where I could do the same for my Desktop PC. I just would like to know if I can alternate between both headphones (i.e. non-simultaneously) that I have connected to my PC? I originally bought the old pair to connect to my Android Smartphone. Which I did for a short while. But no longer need to use them connected to my Smartphone. I wanted another use for them, so I paired them up to my PC.

Depends on the BT adapter I suspect. Check the details of the adapter in your PC.

According to this article you can connect 3 or 4 at once, but it will depend on the transceiver. Windows support multiple connections.

I read the article, though it didn’t quite address my issue. I believe I found a solution. After I disconnected the old pair (Soundcore) and waited a while. I then went to connect the other pair (Grado) and had to go to the sound settings and choose it as the default. Then they began to work like I wanted them to. Yes, it’s an extra step or two. But I am able to get what I want.
