Can this by done Via the BT Dongle I have for my Pc...which sits beside my iMac?

Apple Keyboards can't be used on a PC unless its the USB version iirc.

I'm currently using the apple wireless keyboard on win7 now with a bog standard BT dongle.

win7 installed everything straight away with no messing and all the keys seemed to work. I have since installed AUWKS so I can alter a few keys/functions

You can also install it manually. Use the Bluetooth wizard to search for devices. The entry of Keyboard should appear (otherwise press the ON button of the keyboard). Then right-click on it, and choose Properties. Put at a check mark next to "device driver required" (or something similar). Click on OK, and then continue through the wizard's steps

My wireless Apple Mouse (think that's what it's called now!) works fine under windows, I just used the Bluetooth wizard and it set itself up.

Does UAWKS work with the wired keyboard as well in terms of enabling media functions?

That's what I did, UAWKS just adds some extra options to customize the keys (I think it uses AutoHotKey actually?)

Does using the Apple Magic Mouse support using it with Bluetooth?

I think there are some problems with W7. I read this in a magazine, so don't have a source I'm afraid - I can't remember which it was!
