Problem uploading example sketch ("blink") on Genuino Uno board.

Hello there.

I've ordered and received a Genuino Starter kit (which contains my Genuino Uno board). I'm a total beginner. I've a problem uploading an example sketch (called "blink") on my computer. I'm using Windows 10 to run the Arduino software.
When I followed the instructions, I received the following message:

Arduino: 1.6.12 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

Sketch uses 928 bytes (2%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2,039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

Problem uploading to board.  See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

To give you some idea of my situation:

1.) My Genuino Uno board lights up (one of the lights blink for one second each) when it's connected to my laptop. So I know that it's receiving power from my laptop.

2.) I went to the Device Manager (in Windows 10), check out the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section, and underneath it, it shows this: "Genuino Uno (COM3)".

3.) The Arduino software version I have is "1.6.12".

4.) In the software, under tools, I have the following settings:

"Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"
"Port: "COM3(Arduino/Genuino Uno)"
"Programmer: "AVRISP mkll"

5.) I tried finding some possible solutions to this problem (like starting the IDE and then open the sketch file(File > Open or File > Sketchbook or File > Examples from this forum thread/question here: An error occurred while uploading the sketch. - Installation & Troubleshooting - Arduino Forum ) but to no success.

6.) I did notice that when I run the "Burn Bootloader" option in the Tools bar of the software, I get the following response:

Arduino: 1.6.12 (Windows 10), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr/bin/avrdude -CC:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr/etc/avrdude.conf -v -patmega328p -cstk500v2 -Pusb -e -Ulock:w:0x3F:m -Uefuse:w:0x05:m -Uhfuse:w:0xDE:m -Ulfuse:w:0xFF:m

avrdude done.  Thank you.

7.) I also noticed that when I run an older Arduino Uno running on the same software (1.6.12), it managed to run the "blink" sketch and that Uno board lit up according to the instructions in the booklit. In Device Manager, it shows Arduino Uno (COM4) (instead of COM3). The same port (COM4) also shows up in the software under "Port" section under the Tools menu. That older Arduino Uno board works.

However, my new Genuino Uno board doesn't when using the same software.

If anyone could please help me, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Anyone willing to help me?
