Look in the device manager under ports and it should give you a list of the com ports that exist. You can then right click on the port, select properties and change the number if you wish.
You can get to the device manager from the control panel or by right clicking on the my computer icon in any file manager window and selecting manage.
Why windows can't assign sensible COM port numbers to start with is a whole other topic...
