How do I get my COM Port Number (Windows)?

To find the COM port number for a device connected to your Windows computer, you can follow these steps:

1. Press the Windows key on your keyboard or click on the Windows Start button to open the Start menu.
2. Type "Device Manager" in the search bar and select the "Device Manager" app from the search results. This will open the Device Manager window.
3. In the Device Manager window, expand the "Ports (COM & LPT)" category by clicking on the arrow next to it. This will display a list of all the COM ports on your computer.
4. Look for the entry related to your device. It may be listed as "USB Serial Port," "USB Serial Device," or something similar. The COM port number will be mentioned in parentheses next to the device name. For example, "(COM3)".
5. Make a note of the COM port number for your device.

That's it! You have now found the COM port number for your device on Windows. This information can be useful when configuring terminal emulation software or establishing a connection to devices like routers or switches through the console port.
