I recently got a three pack of Arduino Nano's for an upcoming project. Official Arduino's no 3rd party bs. After messing around with some code for awhile I discovered that I had several error messages. Yay. After some googling I realized my Arduino wasn't hooked up to the correct port because my computer wasn't authorizing it as an Arduino and was instead labeled as, other device, "USB2.0=Ser!". So I go to device manager to update the driver and the automatic installation claims to have no drivers and the manual driver update doesn't work.(https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/DriverInstallation)
I've yet to find any good solutions to this problem, any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

Nanos never report themselves as Nano. The can't because they use the FTDI232 chip which is a generic TTL-to-USB chip.
It is advisable that you provide a link to the seller's product page or a good photo of the underside of the board.
If you really have an original Arduino Nano board with a FT232RL chip, then this is the place for you How to Install FTDI Drivers.

This is not an original Arduino Nano board, it is a Chinese clone with a CH340C chip.
Then you go here How to Install CH340 Drivers.

You need a proper CH340 driver for your board, it doesn’t have the FTDI Chip for your computer to recognize it. Install the drivers using the link in the post above mine. If you are using Windows, go to Device Manager, click on COMS/PORTS will see a port number with CH340 written with it. Use that port number in the Arduino IDE.

Thankfully, this finally worked and I was able to get blink running on it. Solution, install the correct driver. Boffin's tutorial worked great. How to Install CH340 Drivers - SparkFun Learn
