Error Message when uploading to the Arduino Nano (Error message supplied below)

[sweninger]

I continue to get this error message with my brand New Genuine Arduino Nano. I tried burning the Bootloader which is seemed to have loaded correctly. However, when I go to upload a sketch to the Nano I get the error message where I cannot open the device. I followed the suggestions from How to burn the bootloader in Arduino Nano using an Arduino Uno. When I go to tools to select the correct information to down load the sketch to the Nano I do not get the choice to choose a port and then the error message appears.

Arduino: 1.8.13 (Windows Store 1.8.42.0) (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328P"

Sketch uses 924 bytes (3%) of program storage space. Maximum is 30720 bytes.

Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\.\COM10": The system cannot find the file specified.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

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

What do I need to do so I can use the Nano and upload a sketch>

The message is saying it cannot open the port .

Had you selected comport 10 ?
Did your upload of the bootloader work ?
Good usb cable ?
Try the loop back test ( top of forum)
Is it a clone nano ? -try installing the CH340 driver .

I tried everything with the exception of reinstalling the USB driver. After I reistalled the USB driver I reburned the bootloader on all my Nanos since they were all getting the same error.

I have Nanos that are clones and one that is from Arduino. After I reinstalled the driver, burned the bootloader, I could upload sketches to my clone Nanos and selecting the port that said com12 but, I got an error message that stated com10 is not available when I upload the blink sketch to the Arduino Nano.

I tried the whole process again with the Arduino Nano and I could not select the port as the option was "greyed" out. The loop back test would not go as I got an error the com10 was not available.
