It's unlikely to be COM1 or 2 - those are usually [reserved for]
built-in serial ports.
Right-click "My Computer", choose "Manage", then in the window that
opens, click on "Device Manager", then expand the "Ports" sub-tree.
You should see currently available serial ports there. See if one of
them comes and goes when you plug / unplug the USB adapter. If so, you
know which one you would be choosing in K3 Utility. If not, you probably
have a driver (or hardware) problem.
