Right-click on My Computer, and select Manage. In the warning screen that comes up, click Yes.
In the window that opens, select the Device Manager from the list on the left-hand side.
The board will show up in the Device Manager as an Unknown Device. (If it shows up under Ports (COM & LPT) with a valid COM port, this means the drivers have already been installed and are working properly.)
