Problems uploading to board

I'm a total novice.
I have used the Tube to create a firmware update to my Anet A8.
I get the following error (only showing the last couple)

avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 8 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x92
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 9 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x92
avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding
avrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 10 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x92

I am using a windows10 notepad with only one usb port (com1)

Does the above mean that there is no communication between the notpad and the A8?

Anet A8 is a 3D printer.
