I heard I can set up my Wii Mote to work with the Dolphin emulator. But I am having trouble getting my computer to reconizge it. Could someone walk me through how to set up my Wii Mote to use on the Dolphin Emulator? I am running Windows 10.

If bluetooth is enabled on your PC, go to Dolphin -> Controllers -> turn on Auto Refresh. Push the sync button on your Wiimote (its with the batteries if you have a regular Wiimote, Wiimote Pluses have a button on the cover), and if everything works, there should be a notification from Windows telling you that it's setting up a "RVL-CNT-01(-TR)"
What is this doing in the tutorials section?

Tried that and I couldn't click it. It's grayed out. Yes, I checked my PC and Bluetooth is indeed enabled.
If the refresh button is greyed out, that means that auto refresh is enabled
Oh, and i forgot something; you have to make sure that there is a "real wiimote" in port one in controller settings

bear in mind the newer ones will not pair without drivers and some even won't without a dolphin bar from mayflash.
Did you check to make sure that a Wiimote is going to be emulated? Dolphin doesn't really accept wiimotes unless they are enabled.
Your menu looks different from mine. Mine doesn't have that menu section for Passthrough a Bluetooth adapter or that Real Balance Board thing or the Enable Speaker Data. And I did try to enable it but my computer isn't picking it up even though my computer does support Bluetooth.
Edit: I think I found the issue. My Bluetooth is on but apparently it's not connected. And I've tried turning it off and back on to reset it but it's still not connecting.

You can fix this issue by simply buying a "dolphin bar" usb adapter for $30, it's the perfect solution. Otherwise you have to deal with bluetooth driver stacks etc
That means you aren't using the latest version of Dolphin. Dolphin 5.0 is lame, so get the Beta versions
yes get the latest beta dophin for sure, but really no one has given good info or advice yet. This info is out there but clearly you need help finding it. Read up on https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Main_Page particularly the section on usb pasthrough.
tl:dr
Most bluetooth receivers can't communicate properly with a wiimote, you need to get a compatible usb receiver, there is a spreadsheet here https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Bluetooth_Passthrough#Adapter_test_results that shows which usb receivers work, I have found the best options being one of :
1. mayfash dolphinbar(since you need a strong ir bar anyway its great but $20 and long wait from aliexpress.)
2. Actual BT receiver from a wii with a usb end soldered on(youtube this)
3. Fully compatible usb dongle(check that spreadsheet) with libusbk flashed (i use a $8 orico 403 i got at canadacomputers)
