I think you should add one additional step to your post:
After clicking on [Port Settings], bump the port speed (bits per second) to the maximum rate available, usually 128000 bps. That's because Windows normally configures serial ports with a default baud rate of only 9600 bps. At the default speed, it would take a l-o-n-g time to transfer data to a receiver (typically well over ten minutes). A more respectable port speed of 115000 bps or 128000 bps will increase the transfer rate significantly and shorten the time to a more acceptable "under 2 minutes" in most cases.
