If it’s a USB turntable, please read this Tutorial:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/recording_with_usb_turntables.html .

If it’s a conventional turntable that does not normally connect to a computer, please read:
http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/how_to_connect_your_equipment.html
http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/how_to_set_up_audacity.html .

If you need help after that, please state the make and model number of the turntable and what version of Windows you have.

We can’t see over your shoulder so we will have to take it step-by-step.

Switch the turntable on at the mains. Connect the USB cable to an empty USB port on the computer (not to a USB hub).

Right-click over the speaker icon by the computer clock > Recording Devices. Is the turntable listed? If so, right-click over its listing and if you see “Enable”, click “Enable”.

If it is not listed, use another USB cable that you know works, or buy a new USB cable, then follow “Detecting USB and Firewire devices” here: http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/faq_recording_troubleshooting.html#flatline .
