Arduino Due not showing up in COM menu

Hello. I recently bought an arduino due, but after plugging it into a usb port it doesn't show up in the arduino COM menu

I have an arduino uno that will show up, but the arduino due won't show up.

I also looked at the device manager, and the arduino shows up as "Base System Device".

Is there any way to get the arduino due to be recognized on the Com menu?

I am guessing that you have not got the correct driver installed so your PC cannot recognise your board.
From Core Electronics about the Due:

The Programming port is connected to an ATmega16U2, which provides a virtual COM port to software on a connected computer (To recognize the device, Windows machines will need a .inf file, but OSX and Linux machines will recognize the board as a COM port automatically.).
