Hi, samantha i sucessfully install the mbed serial driver in windows 8 with this installer:
https://mbed.org/media/downloads/drivers/mbedWinSerial_16466.exe
First install this, and then plug your mbed. It most appear in the device manager as COM(number)
What is the problem that you have?

For LPC1768 I had to install new driver if I wanted to use CMSIS-DAP. https://mbed.org/handbook/CMSIS-DAP-MDK. After that device manager in windows Vista shows better information. There are 3 instances of mbed:
-as a Portable Device / MBED
-as a Disk Station / MBED microcontrolleur USB Device
-as a Universal Serial Bus-controllers / mbed Composite Device
The last one ("mbed Composite device") will show up in the list of COMports. You can read/write to the COMport by means of a terminal program if you want to communicate with mbed (" printf" in a program sends text to the terminal window).. As a terminal I use YAT: http://sourceforge.net/projects/y-a-terminal/ because it has lots of extra's, it looks good and is so much fun to use: just click!
