	You may need to install drivers for CH341 chip. In Arduino IDE you need to install the ESP32 Board (espressif). Also make sure you are using the right port (plug into the board itself with USB-C). Set the Baud Rate correctly and you may need to restart your PC if your ports don't work. Also you may need to hold the Boot Button before it uploads, otherwise you get an error during upload.
