Hi & welcome.

You need to install build tools.

npm install --global windows-build-tools

then try again.

It wrote npm WARN deprecated. Will it be a problem in the future when there is an update?

what part wrote "npm WARN deprecated"?

Anyhow, regardless of the warning, does it now work? Please feedback for future readers with same issue.

It works as expected. Thanks. But what is the theory behind it?

Some nodejs modules need to compile native code to work on specific OS/hardware. Serialport is one of those.
