Arduino Pro Micro not recognized by PC so I've got myself a Arduino Pro Micro ATmega32U4 5V 16MHz and my PC (Win10 64bit) won't recognize it.
So, after I firstly plugged it in, it was detected as a Leonardo, rather than a Pro Micro, afterwards I installed hte drivers as noted by Sparkfun, and added the board to the IDE. Afterwards, my Arduino got detected as an unknown device where I can't use it anymore. I tried installing the drivers as given by sparkfun over the &quot;unknown device&quot; and no luck by trying, I always get an error saying that Windows has already the best drivers for it already installed.
And later, I uninstalled the &quot;uknown device&quot; in hope that it will re-install itself upon pluggin it back it, and it actually disappeard totally and got repalced by &quot;Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)&quot; under USB controllers in the Device manager.
And I'm stuck here. In the IDE, the Pro Micro is detected as being on &quot;COM1&quot; no matter what COM port it really is, or is it even plugged it at all. Uploading a code results in the bar being filled up and &quot;Uploading...&quot; message, while maybe after a few minutes a very long error pops up without anything specific since you can plug out the board and get the same error.
I also tried a different PC with Windows 7 64bit on it, and instead of getting recognized as a Leonardo, this time it came straight to becoming a &quot;Unknown device&quot;. I tried installing drivers multiple times with no luck, also again tried manually overiding the drivers in the Device manager and it always says that the best drivers are already installed.
I'm really stuck here.

It was wrong of you to try and install the driver as this board SHOULD be recognized as Leonardo. I would try to reinstall the Arduino IDE, it will also reinstall the drivers (hopefully)
