You probably can't.
The mic-in on most laptops is mono. Also, the "sound cards" in laptops are usually of low quality. Yours could be an exception, if so you will have to make a suitable adapter for connecting two separate mics to the one mic jack (if, that is, it is a stereo jack).
Better solution, get a USB external "sound card" with a full set of inputs (something like a Creative Labs Extigy) and use that. Obviously, you will still have to find a set of mics to work with it, and it still may require a cable that splits a single stereo mic jack into two separate left and right mono mic jacks.
You will also need some recording software, which will probably come with the USB external sound card. Windows has "Sound Recorder", but it is very limited, as it only records to memory and not to a disk drive (although on a modern computer with hundreds of megabytes of memory, that may be adequate).

I would like to record my classical guitar playing in stereo on my laptop. My laptop has a built in mic port.
How exactly can I get two mics to work? What special device should I use? I would prefer something simpler and relavtively cheap. . .
