The microphone must be connected to the computer and recognised by Windows before you open Audacity. If you look in the "Windows Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices" you will be able to see if the device is available as a recording device.
Providing that the device is available to Windows, open Audacity and go to "Edit menu > Preferences > Audio I/O" and select the USB option as the recording device.
