Hi Rena,

The correct port is selected, and the USB cable definitely works since I use it to program an Arduino Nano Every. Attached is the error with verbose enabled.

Trying to upload blink through Arduino IDE 1.8,13 on windows 10. I've followed the upload instructions and have confirmed all the following: Port 5 selected, Arduino Pro or Pro mini board selected, ATmega 328P 3.3v, 8MHz processor.

The IDE gets hung up on "uploading". The board is preloaded with 'flappy birdz' and it never freezes as the upload from the IDE starts. The error message is totally nondescript as well, so not much help there. Am I missing some key step?
