    Does this sample work with Surface Simulator - when running this sample in Surface Simulator on a bluetooth enabled PC - or does it work only on an actual Surface device?

    It was written for an actual surface device. That said, the Bluetooth APIs are not specific to Surface. You could try it on your bluetooth enabled PC.
