On Windows puTTY is probably your best bet. I'd say that *everyone* who uses COMx devices on windows use it, but I'd probably be wrong. There are many apps out there. But puTTY and the paralax serial app are the two most prominent on my mind. So basically, you get an adapter, be is cable, or otherwise. You install the drivers for that cable on windows. Look in hardware manager find the COM port the drivers reserved for the device. Then you install puTTY, change the connection type to serial, and then you must configure the connection ( COM port, baud rate, parity etc.) Anyway, I'm sure there is a how to on the web somewhere. I used to have one on a forums for the beaglebone black when it was first released. But it seems now that forum is defunct. Just make sure you use a 3.3v TTL adapter . . . otherwise you'll probably damage your BBB.
