Note: Restart Audacity if the program does not see your microphone - this issue is usually caused by launching Audacity before plugging in a microphone. From the dropdown list that appears, hover your cursor over the 'Recording Device' option and then ensure the desired microphone is selected from the second dropdown list that appears. Then, open the program and click on the 'Audio Setup' button near the top-middle of the window. If you have an external microphone, plug it into your computer before launching the Audacity program.
