HELP re coms ports

[Gerald Sargent]

On my Asus F3J series laptop coms ports 3, 7, and 10 to 14, 20 and 21 are "local
blue tooth Coms ports, reported as reserved for the system. How can I find out
exactly for what they are reserved, and can I move them to free up 10 thru 14.
Things like robofocus, QHY filter wheel and several other devices need coms
ports of 1 thru 15, with my set up I need one usb port (camera) and 3 serial ports
(mount, robofocus and QHY filter wheel. Help appreciated Gerald.

This works for me.

Computer Management -> Device Manager

Expand "Ports (COM & LPT)"

View -> Show hidden devices

Delete all the COM ports which just appeared.

Action -> Scan for hardware changes

You can also use device manager to re-assign certain ports for particular devices.
