Serial Cable 9pin to 15pin?

Hi, I'm new to this stuff as I'm sure my question will show.

I had a PDA bought for me for christmas - it's an old one, discontinued now I think, but it's suitable for what I need it for. The only problem is, the serial cable/sync cable is 9-pins and whereas that's compatible with my PC, which is on it's way out due to a technical fault, it's not compatible with my laptop - the only port on my laptop is 15-pin.

Is there anyway I can get some sort of converter for this?

any help would be much appreciated!

Welcome to our forums.
There are adapters available but I'm not sure if they will be suitable as I've never used one that way. You can get them from most PC shops.
