Port works for my UNO and runs sketches beautifully but never figured out how to update drivers from device manager, port just says com 3.I tried to search the folders but cant find the board names under the Arduino folder because the IDE runs the c:\"my name"\appData* path when running sketches and my arduino folder is in my desktop. Just got the NANO 33 & the WIFI 1010; LED working but they don't show on my port either before or after downloading the board manager's drivers. I've tried to run the serial monitor to detect errors and I got: "board at com 3 is not available". COM 3 is where my UNO was connected. Cant even change COM because it's not detected. I've already disabled the com devices twice and still no NANO only ONE shows up as com 3, always COM 3.
I opened my arduino Zip folder and looked in the drivers folder. I spotted FTDIUSB drivers and see it is not empty but I cant tell what is what, don't even know if the NANO 33 is in there or not, because everything is so well organized and encrypted although it shows up in the IDE.
Did some research and found some one had the same trouble and I ran the same process.=
File>Preferences>Show Verbose output during>Upload>ok>Sketch>Ok and I got this error:
Couldn't find a Board on the selected port. Check that you have the correct port selected. If it is correct, try pressing the board's reset button after initiating the upload.
The NANO blinks about one sec. on and 1 sec. off when plugged
when Reset; the board runs 2 sec on and a quarter of a second off
Don't know if i should install another FTDI driver besides the one that arduino provides because more apps typically make my computer slower than it is.
Should I buy a new computer ?? My Arduino IDE folder is in my desktop and my appData has another arduino folder; Does the folder path have to do with anything ?
What hijack ? What Necro post. Non of that was is relevant to my issue.
And I'm posting the same thing because I'm not typing the same thing in a different way. I could cut it short.

Just listen to ballscrewbob. Most of us do this for fun and him and a few other make sure it stays fun.

Port works for my UNO ...
This does not matter for the Arduino Nano 33 IoT / BLE and WiFi 1010. They use their native USB to create a virtual COM port on the PC. This has advantages and disadvantage.
Pro
you can make native USB devices
Serial Monitor can be a lot faster
the speed setting in the Serial Monitor does not matter anymore
Con
your sketch can kill the Serial connection if you do stupid things
the COM port is not continuous, whenever you download a new sketch it switches
there are now two virtual COM ports used (only one at a time) one for download and one for your sketch

Yes, if you want to help the economy and your country (paying VAT).

Probably not the best place to store your projects.
There are multiple posts about COM issues in the forum. Have a look trough them. They are mostly just handling issues. Play with the board and a simple Blink example.
