Hello, I am a new user of Arduino but I am not able to upload even the blink code. I have selected the correct port, and all the other stuff (at least I think so). Can anyone help me with this issue ?
I will take a SWAG as I cannot read what you have posted. Please read the forum guidelines and post accordingly, that will help us help you. I cannot read the error but it looks like the IDE is working but communications is not. Be sure you have the proper board selected and also check the port. Start by opening the serial window, if it does not open nothing else will work. Try a different cable and or port if thjat does not fix it. If that does not fix it post again correctly.
I saw this similar problem in another post:

May I know which Clone you are using?
@kristonela , Welcome - please can you post a photo of your Arduino Mega clone board.
and the cable to pls, if it is not too much of a hassle
How? Your port selection is greyed out in the image so you can not select anything 
So the question is what your operating system (which one) thinks of your board?
I am sorry, I have made the screen caption after I tried another cable that didnt worked (as you see) my bad. I am using Windows 11 but I dont think that could be a problem (a have searched through multiple forums and havent seen that as an issue).
I couldn upload more that 1 image so I wanted to include it all. The error starts with the "timeout" and ends with "timeout communicating with programmer" - an error occurred while uploading the project. I have tried multiple cables and 3 PCs, but nothing works.
I seem to recall that you need to have the switch settings a certain way on the DIP switch in the middle of the board.
Have a read of this web page:
