BLE HID & USB HID can Compatible?

Hi

I want use BLE send My device data to PC ( windows 10 ) 

if I use BLE HID services to PC 

I need to do any change ? to USB HID ? or not need change?

Thanks,

    Is the data you are sending just normal ASCII strings?

    In theory a BLE HID device should work similar to a USB HID device, but please note that Windows didn't add proper BLE support until Windows 8 was released. Older versions of Windows requires specialized drivers depending on which Bluetooth chipset is used in the PC, and support might not be as streamlined as the USB support. 

    Best regards
