I bought a Arduino Nano online, when I connect it to the PC it says USB serial in the Device Manager and I have tried the drivers on the Chinese website and also from the C:/Program Files(x86)/Arduino/drivers but no luck, after I tried updating the drivers it shows the Arduino as the picture below, the port menu is greyed out in tools.
Anyone please help!

Those drivers have no hope of working with your derivative Nano board. The drivers included with the Arduino IDE only support the FTDI FT232R USB chip on the official and faithful clone Nano boards. Since your board uses the CH340, you'll need to use the drivers provided by the manufacturer of the CH340: WCH.
I see you mention a "Chinese website", and WCH is a Chinese company, so maybe you already tried this, but there are millions of "Chinese websites", so maybe not. You'll find it right away on Google.
I downloaded the driver from this website :
That's the one.
I don't know how but it is working fine right now.
Thank You
I'm glad to hear it's working now. Thank you for taking the time to post an update. Enjoy!
