How do select a port?

It has a error that i didnt select a port and when i wanted to select it i couldnt? Btw im new to arduino. This was the error:

Arduino: 1.8.15 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Uno"

Sketch uses 3776 bytes (11%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32256 bytes.

Global variables use 81 bytes (3%) of dynamic memory, leaving 1967 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2048 bytes.

Serial port not selected.

Tools/Port in the IDE

Select the port that your Arduino is connected to

this error happened to me, i'm new to arduino too and i can't solve it, it's been a month and i can't select the serial port


I'm thinking about giving up

You're probably missing a driver.

  1. Which operating system?
  2. What does your operating system think about the board?
  3. What is the chip closest to the USB port? Options are Atmel 16U2 (original Arduino and some clones), CH340, FT232 or CP2102 (most clones). If you can't read it (quite possible), take a sharp photo in good light and enlarge it; you might have to try a few times.

This is usually the case if you have a non genuine Arduino . Check also that you have a data type USB lead , not a phone charger one
