Go to a computer accessories shop and look for the green USB to PS2 Mouse adapter. Or you can buy it online.
See the picture at this link (check that the port matches your PC mouse port):

Please note the answer above is for converting a USB to PS2 connector, NOT USB to Serial Port.
A USB to Serial Port adapter does not, to my knowledge, exist. So please verify if you want a PS/2 (small, round connector) or Serial Port (long, flat connection with many pins)
Also, the color of the adapter may vary.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of serial mouse?
As opposed to having a proprietary bus mouse (only found in very old computer systems), a serial mouse allows you to use a standardized interface and protocol, meaning you can easily replace the mouse if it breaks. The disadvantages of a serial mouse are:It occupies the serial port, barring it from use for other devices, such as a modem. If you only have one serial port and no internal modem, you cannot use a dial-up modem and the mouse at the same time.They are not always detected automatically or correctly by the operating system.They can't be used with many newer computers without purchasing an adapter, as newer computers often lack a serial port.They were introduced at a time when few optical (laser) mice were available. As such, you are usually limited to only ball mice, which some people do not like.They often have lower / fixed acceleration speeds, meaning it takes them longer to move across the screen or they require a larger movement of the mouse.
