Identifying USB COM device using Windows APIs - c++11

Question

I connect to Arduino Uno R3 via a WinAPI handle.
std::string name = "COM5";
this->handle = CreateFile(name.c_str(), GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
How can I safely distinguish Arduino so I am not communicating with something different or at least get its name, preferably without third party libraries? After a research I found several APIs (QueryDosDevice and NtQueryObject), however I don't know how can I implement those in my code.
EDIT: I am now able to enumerate USB devices, however I have the exact opposite problem. I do not know how to CreateFile from these:
EXTERN_C const DEVPROPKEY DECLSPEC_SELECTANY DEVPKEY_Device_BusReportedDeviceDesc = { { 0x540b947e, 0x8b40, 0x45bc, { 0xa8, 0xa2, 0x6a, 0x0b, 0x89, 0x4c, 0xbd, 0xa2 } }, 4 };
typedef BOOL(WINAPI *FN_SetupDiGetDeviceProperty)(
__in HDEVINFO DeviceInfoSet,
__in PSP_DEVINFO_DATA DeviceInfoData,
__in const DEVPROPKEY *PropertyKey,
__out DEVPROPTYPE *PropertyType,
__out_opt PBYTE PropertyBuffer,
__in DWORD PropertyBufferSize,
__out_opt PDWORD RequiredSize,
__in DWORD Flags
);
std::vector<device> usbenumerator::ListDevices()
{
DWORD dwSize;
DEVPROPTYPE ulPropertyType;
CONFIGRET status;
HDEVINFO hDevInfo;
SP_DEVINFO_DATA DeviceInfoData;
char szDeviceInstanceID[MAX_DEVICE_ID_LEN];
WCHAR szBuffer[4096];
FN_SetupDiGetDeviceProperty GetDeviceProperty = (FN_SetupDiGetDeviceProperty)(GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle("setupapi.dll"), "SetupDiGetDevicePropertyW"));
hDevInfo = SetupDiGetClassDevs(NULL, "USB", NULL, DIGCF_ALLCLASSES | DIGCF_PRESENT);
std::vector<device> output;
if (hDevInfo == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
{
return output;
}
for (int i = 0; ; i++)
{
device dev;
DeviceInfoData.cbSize = sizeof(DeviceInfoData);
if (!SetupDiEnumDeviceInfo(hDevInfo, i, &DeviceInfoData))
{
break;
}
status = CM_Get_Device_ID(DeviceInfoData.DevInst, szDeviceInstanceID, MAX_PATH, 0);
if (status != CR_SUCCESS)
{
continue;
}
std::string deviceID = szDeviceInstanceID;
dev.id = deviceID;
if (GetDeviceProperty && GetDeviceProperty(hDevInfo, &DeviceInfoData, &DEVPKEY_Device_BusReportedDeviceDesc, &ulPropertyType, (BYTE*) szBuffer, sizeof(szBuffer), &dwSize, 0))
{
if (GetDeviceProperty(hDevInfo, &DeviceInfoData, &DEVPKEY_Device_BusReportedDeviceDesc, &ulPropertyType, (BYTE*)szBuffer, sizeof(szBuffer), &dwSize, 0))
{
_bstr_t b(szBuffer);
const char* cBusReportedDesc = b;
std::string busReportedDesc = cBusReportedDesc;
dev.busReportedDesc = busReportedDesc;
}
}
output.push_back(dev);
}
return output;
}

I think I got it: I am basically making my own copy of the SymbolicName key in the Windows registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\**YOUR_DEVICE_ID**\Device Parameters, for example HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\VID_2341&PID_0001\75633313233351E0A1E1\Device Parameters)
// Error checking omitted
CM_Get_Device_ID(DeviceInfoData.DevInst, szDeviceInstanceID, MAX_PATH, 0);
std::string deviceID = szDeviceInstanceID;
std::string did = deviceID;
// Convert all backslashes to hash signs
std::replace(did.begin(), did.end(), '\\', '#');
// The GUID seems to stay the same: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/install/guid-devinterface-usb-device
std::string rid = "\\??\\" + did + "#{a5dcbf10-6530-11d2-901f-00c04fb951ed}";
handle = CreateFile(rid, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL);
