The problem is that my laptop, which is windows 8.1, doesn't recognise the usb. I know my usb holes work fine because I connect my phone to it, use wireless mouse and keyboard but this just does not work. This microphone doesn't need or have any drivers to install. If you were to put it in any other computer/laptop it should work automatically. What can I do? I've spent 50 pounds on this and I know its not the microphone s fault!
My USB microphone (Samson C01u) won't work in my laptop (lenovo g580)?

Since you know it is not the microphone's fault, then calling Samson about whether it should work with Windows 8.1 would not do any good.
And since you have already put it in another computer or laptop (or have you, really?) and verified it worked, then obviously you should use that other computer or laptop instead of this one.
