O.K. Here's what I tried today (I realize some of this may be irrelevant).
-
Boot up mini-ITX with only Mega attached
Device Manager, Under Ports
Communication Port (Com1)
Communication Port (Com2)
Printer Port (LP!)
USB Serial CH340 (Com8) -
Add Uno and Restart mini-ITX
Device Manager Under Ports - unchanged
New Menu Item - Other Devices
Under Other Devices - Com5 with a yellow icon of an exclamation point
Right click on Com5 - Properties/Details, two lines
VID_2341&PID_0043&Rev0001

Both Arduinos are genuine.
