I am getting an unknown device 'CircuitPython CDC Control' in device manager after installing circuit python as given in the image bellow. Please let me know how to install driver for that device.

Wow... was that really as early as Win 7/8 ?
The last time I encountered it, it popped up the old security dialogue with "Don't install..." / "Install anyway..." options.
This Adafruit troubleshoot page for 7 and 8 has a slightly slightly different process: https://learn.adafruit.com/circuit-playground-express-circuitpython-5-minute-guide/connect
Maybe worth a try, manojroy123 ?

I remember that being the case in Windows XP / Windows 7 and then they rolled out updates which locked it down.
I believe part of the reason was due to running promiscuous mode network drivers for WiFi that were modified among other purposes.
One caveat for manojroy123 is that all 8.1 versions are now out of support and updates.
It may still be OK if you keep an existing version running, without installing additional software on it (and not exposing it to the internet too much).
But once you try (and fail) to install something additional, it 'll be hard to get support from either Microsoft or Adafruit.
I'm also wondering if Manoj did click that NEXT button....
I believe that was already done back here:
"...I am using circuit python and have installed all the adafruit drivers for serial port but still not showing serial terminal..."
However I suspect that installer may not know about the nRF52840 DK board.
or any other board after Nov 2020, hence:
maybe this is similar to Arduino Uno R4 support under Arduino IDE, that under Win7 had driver problems and needed to be used under Win10...
