As a fellow Windows user, this is what I have learnt so far:
1) Chrome on Windows does not yet support Web Bluetooth -- apparently its coming in 2017
2) You need to install the native IDE which can be downloaded from http://www.espruino.com/Web+IDE#as-a-native-application
3) Not all Bluetooth hardware supports BLE. I needed to purchase a dongle for my laptop to see the BLE devices. I went for https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01F6NTLGY/ but other BT adaptors which support v4.0 BT should work.
4) A good check is to install a BLE mobile app. Its called "nRF Connect" under Android and "nRF Toolbox" on iOS. This can be used to confirm that the Puck is working and upgrade its firmware. Web Bluetooth also works under the latest versions of Chrome under Android.
Hope this helps
