There is no definitive 'best recording microphone'. Perhaps a more valid question would be what is the best microphone for a particular situation taking into account the sound sources involved, accoustic environment, desired quality of the recorded sound and your budget.
Research into the characteristics of the various types of microphones (eg: condenser, dynamic, ribbon etc.) and the various attributes of different mics (eg: polar patterns, frequency response etc) if you haven't already done so and then research opinions and reviews of particular model(s) you may have your eye on to help conclude whether the desired mic(s) are suitable for your needs. For an introduction to microphone technology I think the page below is a good start.
It's important to note that although particular mics may be deemed 'good' or 'bad', no one microphone can be considered a 'catch all' solution.

How do you get a microphone to play through the speakers of a computer?
You did not indicate whether you had a separate Mic, or if it was a MIC that is part of Headphones, WebCam, etc.Plug your MIC into the front of your computer, assuming it is a PC, into the "Pink" plug. Depending on which OS you are running, you may see a window pop up that ask you "What Device Did You Install?" Check MIC. Then right click your "Volume" icon in your system tray, click "Recording Devices" when the properties window open, check all lines to make sure they are checked or not checked according to what you like. Make sure you make this MIC your "Default" device (For MIC). Look or the "levels" tab at the top of the properties window. Click it and adjust your volume and recording levels. You do not want to set your recording level to High. About 60% is cool. Set the volume to where you want it by speaking into your MIC and adjusting the level bar in your window, not on your speaker. That should do it.
