Now you need to go into your control panel to see which port the computer has installed the cable onto. You can reach this from the start menu and then selecting the control panel. A screen similar to the one below will then appear. Double click on the one called "System"

Select the "Hardware" tab and then click on "Device Manager"

Go down to where it says "Ports (Com&Lpt)" and make a note of the number it has next to the COM. Ie, in the case below it says (COM24)
