My formal training on Windows was 20 years ago and XP was king.  🤣
In other words, I know just enough of the Windows world to be mostly
annoying, not even remotely dangerous.

I wonder if the Enhanced port means that audio and serial on on the same
USB port.  I suspect so as WSJT-X would be using the audio port portion
for the decodes and the serial comm port for radio control.  I hope
someone with more knowledge of Windows can help you ferret out the
serial port number and get things going.
