Jan 08, 2015  How to Change COM Port for a Device in Windows Posted on January 8, 2015 Author Trisha 4 Comments Recently, I bought a Prolific USB-to-Serial adapter for flashing my Android smartphone that I had accidentally bricked. Jul 04, 2011  If you only use one Plugable USB-Serial adapter on this computer, it is possible to set the registry so that Windows ignores the serial number of the adapter, and thereby assigns the same port to any Plugable adapter that is plugged in, but if you are using.

Usb Serial Number Registry

I have a cheap usb stick. Unfortunately my stick has no serial number.

Is it possible to add an own serial number to my stick?

No, this is not possible in general. To change the USB descriptors and add a USB serial number, you would have to modify the firmware of the USB stick. It's unlikely that the procedure for writing to it would be documented, or that the firmware itself would be available in source form. The effort it takes to figure that stuff out probably outweighs the cost of just buying a better USB device.

Also, why do you need a serial number? Touro desk pro driver. Perhaps you can store a UUID of some sort in the filesystem of the USB drive instead of in the firmware of the drive itself.

However, this link about reprogramming USB devices might be useful:

Start by going to the Device Manager. Once there do the following:
Expand the Ports ‘(COM& LPT)’
You should be looking at something like this:
As you can see Windows has set the port to COM10. However many legacy applications expect the port to be between 1-4. Let’s change that:
Right click on the device and click on ‘Properties’.
Click on ‘Port Settings’. Then click on ‘Advanced…’.
Once you’re in ‘Advanced Settings for COM10’ on the bottom you can see the ‘COM Port Number: COM10’. Click on that to change it to the lowest possible number (between 1-4).
Then click ‘OK’ on all open Property Windows.
Now the device should look like this:
