To tread and send your sms in Windows / Chrome, one option is Pushbullet.
https://www.pushbullet.com/
It also can put your phone notifications onto your pc, and allow you to easily push files and pushbullet messages among all your devices.
Personally for privacy / security reasons, I use it only for the files and pushbullet messages. My SMS and notifications can carry critical info like dual verification messages which I'd rather keep on my phone. So:
1 - I don't grant that app the notifications access in Android security settings
2 - I turn off the SMS permissions in Android Xposed App Ops module
3 - On PC, I use the add-on for Firefox, not Chrome since my more sensitive / critical applications (like gmail) are accessed through pc chrome.

That's weird, it worked fine for me (until I revoked its sms permissions)
In what way did it not work?
You set it up on pc and phone using same account?
I think airdroid does the same although I've never used it.
