Next you want to setup your software, so download the SDR Software package from this page:

Once the file is downloaded ,extract its contents and run the rtlsdr bat file.
This will download the drivers needed to use the RTLSDR.

Plug in your RTLSDR, and wait a minute.
Open the new zadig file that was created once you opened that bat.

View Show all Devices.
Select the "BulkIn, Interface (Interface 0)" Device
Ensure the correct USB Id is shown: "0BDA 2838 00"
