echo "g_serial" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

*Then disable this service: sudo
systemctl disable getty@ttyGS0.service
-
Shutdown your Raspberry Pi Zero and connect it with your computer - Please note that you've to connect your USB Cable to the USB Data Port and
not the Power Only Port. Windows should automatically install the required drivers for this Device.
