**4.** After connecting, the board's **name** and **port** is visible at the top of the editor (next to upload button). In this case, it is `COM19`.
**5.** Click the upload button. This will start the **compilation process**. After some seconds, a popup will appear. Click **"Continue"**, and in the next frame, you will need to save it to the `RPI-RP2` mass storage device. The file is named `sketch.uf2`, which is the binary that will be uploaded to your board.
