Elegoo Nano Won't Upload

Development Tools Uploading
1

Hi there,
I'm having trouble with the Elegoo Nano, uploading sketches, I have 3 identical ones none of which are working. It wouldn't install properly so I had to download CH341SER driver, it now installs correctly according to device manager.
Error message I now receive is as follows:
I tried with the basics blink sketch and get the same error.
Any ideas how I can fix this?
Many Thanks

Arduino: 1.8.13 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328P (Old Bootloader)"

Sketch uses 2418 bytes (7%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.

Global variables use 202 bytes (9%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1846 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

An error occurred while uploading the sketch

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

Select Tools > Processor > ATmega328P and then try uploading again.

Even though many of the Nano derivative board manufacturers are still using the old bootloader, some have finally caught up to 2018's state of the art, so it's not always the case that the "Old Bootloader" setting is the right one when using unofficial "Nano" boards.

Perfect that worked thanks,
I changed it to the old bootloader before I downloaded the driver but never tried the one which isn't old bootloader.
Thanks

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear it's working now. Enjoy!
