you might want to start a new thread,
re Arduino usage.

If you have a true arduino,
then go to the arduino web site,
https://www.arduino.cc/
go to download and download the ardino IDE
https://www.arduino.cc/en/software

install, and run ( latest 2.1.0 )
and you will find your board is detected,

dead simple and in my experience very reliable.

I have seen it with PC systems that are "highly modified", that the drivers have problems,

I have seen as other have said, cables are a problem

As the board is powered off the USB, that some PC's have broken power outputs,

I've not bought a new Arduino for a few years,we tend now to us the Teensey
but the boards normally in my experience come with a default program loaded,
that flashes the board led and sends a character to the serial port.

dont cut corners , just because your already a Microsoft expert,
and it will pay you dividends.

These reviews makes me think twice...

I would also be VERY worried about such a product
Its says
"
UNO R3 Atmega328P Compatible Development Board
"

QED , its a rip off, it does not even say its an Arduino compatible.

Caveat Emptor
Have searched for in the local market. Available for cheap prices. Will take the laptop to the store and then check it then and there before purchase...

One Problem:
My laptop is running on power (Batteries Gone). Any idea on replacement batteries?
