I have been trying to upload a sketch to an Arduino Nano from a Windows 10 machine, with Arduino 1.8.7. The Arduino is receiving power via USB, and it is doing the blink program. However, when I try to upload it, it stalls for a while after compiling, and spits out these error messages:
Arduino: 1.8.7 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328P"
Sketch uses 936 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.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
What would cause this? At first, it would not even see the board in the serial ports, so I installed a driver from the seller of my board, and it detected it but now it doesn't actually upload. Any ideas?
Uncheck the checkbox next to "Show verbose output during: compilation"
Check the checkbox next to "Show verbose output during: upload
Click "OK"
Sketch > Upload
After the upload fails, you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar "Copy error messages" (or the icon that looks like two pieces of paper at the top right corner of the black console window in the Arduino Web Editor). Click that button.

Press "Ctrl + V". This will paste the upload output between the code tags.

avrdude done. Thank you.

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

Remove any connections to pins 0 and 1 on your Arduino board. These pins are used for communication with your computer, including uploads. Connecting anything to these pins can interfere with uploads.
Make sure you have the correct board selected from the Tools > Board menu.
Make sure you have selected the port of your Arduino board from the Tools > Port menu.
Sometimes the port will be labeled with the board name in the menu. Other times it will not. If you don’t know which port is your Arduino board, you can find it like this:
Unplug your Arduino board from the computer.
Tools > Port
Note the ports, if any, listed in the menu.
Close the Tools menu. The ports list is only updated when the Tools menu is re-opened, so this step is essential.
Plug your Arduino board into the computer.
Tools > Port - The new port listed in the menu is your Arduino board.
