I don't have any experience with BLE development on windows, but guess it mostly depends on what programming language you prefer using. The Noble project may be alternative: https://github.com/noble/noble

Some relevant API documentation from Microsoft: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/bluetooth/bluetooth-functions . Note that Windows 7 does not have native support for BLE.

Hi,

Unfortunately. The pc-ble-driver achieves Bluetooth connectivity by sending serialized commands to the Softdevice programmed onto the connectivity chip. We don't have an example that demonstrates DFU with the windows stack.
