New UNO (not a clone) will not load program. I am using IDE 1.8.13, Windows 10 pro 64. I am successfully using the same system to load a Mega 2560. I have enabled verbose compile and upload. The compilation messages look good. I get the following upload message:

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.
The two error lines are repeated 10 times. I looked at the troubleshooting page and the only item that seemed relevant was the possibility of no bootloader. I noted that the LED on pin 13 does not blink when I reset the UNO. Does that mean that there is no bootloader?
Hi @k3pto .
Have you loaded the USB driver for this arduino UNO?
When plugging this UNO into the USB, does the port in "tools" appear with the correct COM and in black or is it grey?
Hi ruilviana,
I have not loaded a driver. According to the documentation for the UNO, it uses the standard Windows driver - as does the Mega 2560. The correct comm port is shown and it is black. Opening the Serial Monitor works and it shows the proper values.
Yes. It should blink rapidly a few times as soon as you release the reset button.
This would indicate the next step is to burn the bootloader. This requires an ISP programmer. If you don't own one, you can use a spare Arduino board as an "Arduino as ISP" by following this tutorial:
I'm going to ask you to post some additional information that might help us to identify the problem.
Please do this:
Select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE's menus.
Check the checkbox next to "Show verbose output during: upload".
Click the OK button.
Select Tools > Burn Bootloader from the Arduino IDE's menus.
After the Burn Bootloader process fails, you'll see a button on the right side of the orange bar: Copy error messages. Click that button.

Click the </> icon on the post composer toolbar. This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
Press Ctrl+V. This will paste the compilation output into the code block.

Hi Pert,
Seems like it does not find the USB port:

Error while burning bootloader.
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.
I find that the instructions in the bootloader program are not as clear as I would like. What do I have to do to enable the USB port?
The step you missed is that you need to select "Arduino as ISP" from the Arduino IDE's Tools > Programmer menu. Please do that and then try burning the bootloader again.
Hi Pert, You are correct - I did miss that. I also tried both versions of Arduino as ISP. However, still no joy. Below is the verbose output of the upload. It looks like it cannot determine the device type.
I am using a 1 to 1 cable between the two ISP headers except that pin 5 on the Mega side is not connected and pin 5 on the UNO is connected to output 7 of the Mega. I edited the program accordingly. I do have the 10uf capacitor between RESET and GND on the Mega.
