Hi there,
If you could, can you go to Tools->Port and see if there is any ports listed. The error message that you posted indicates that the port that is selected is not what your Uno is connected to. If the board is a genuine Uno, in the Tool->Port menu it will list something along the lines of Com 7 (Arduino/Genuino Uno). It may not say 7, that’s just a random number.
Give it a try and let me know!
Problem fixed. The port was showing up but I had not clicked on it to get the checkmark to appear. I assumed it would automatically connect to the port it was connected to. Thanks for your help.
