    The thing is Windows 7 doesn't support Bluetooth 4. But you can use Windows 7 + USB Bluetooth 4 dongle with special drivers from manufacturer that support some of the profiles. Bluetooth 4 don't have serial port profile so you can't easily communicate with Windows through virtual COM-port. The only way you can communicate between your device and windows is to use custom HID profile. For this you need to get HID keyboard example from Nordic SDK: nRF51 SDK_v6.0.0.43681\Nordic\nrf51822\Board\nrf6310\s110\ble_app_hids_keyboard and rewrite it to use custom HID service. Next you need to write windows driver to communicate with your custom HID service.
