How to identify an Arduino UNO R3 good or bad?

Hi,
I used lot of Arduino UNO, some one takes such long time without upload success, say few minutes, only occasionally upload success. is this mean that one broken ?

some one UNO made my laptop Win7 fall in daze, I mean can't any thing as long as the UNO plugged in.

any way to identify an Arduino UNO good or bad?
Thanks

Check that You use a version of Arduino IDE that works for Win7.
I use Win10, maybe used Win 7 years ago, but never experienced things like You do.
Checking/changing the USB cable would be the first I would try.

Just curious.

Are these UNOs genuine or counterfeits?

What kinda things have you hooked up whilst working with the boards that aren't so much fun anymore?

Modified timing on the blink sketch usually a good start.
