Several examples can be easily found:

Parallel port:

Serial port:

USB: (WinUSB)

The serial and parallel port are the most easy to use because they are so extremely old that the pins of those ports are almost soldered directly to the cpu. An USB however needs some more work although the operating system developers did the most work having to build the USB stack. Still the most easy way on windows is to use winUSB, that will make it much easier because you don't have to build a kernel driver with all the necessary driver signing and what not these days.

Good luck!
