I can not submit any code to my Arduino Nano V3

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

No Code will upload to my board, it is plugged in and on (with LED). I am using Windows 10 and I have updated the port but it still does not work. (I have Arduino IDE successfully downloaded. ) If someone could help me I would be extremely grateful.

This is the error message:

Arduino: 1.8.2 (Windows Store 1.8.5.0) (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino Nano, ATmega328"

Sketch uses 928 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 "\.\COM1": 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.

From the tools -> port menu, select the port that corresponds to your Nano.

That error indicates that COM1 is selected, but doesn't exist (probably because it's the default selection, and has never been changed).

If there's nothing in that menu, either you're using a charging-only USB cable, or you don't have drivers installed. Be aware that most of the cheap clones use a CH340G serial chip, drivers for this are not included with the IDE and have to be downloaded separately - just google for it.

I've tried plugging it into multiple different computers but the Arduino nano is still not recognized, What do you suggest?

What does plugging into different computers have to do with selecting the correct port ? ? ?
