Cannot upload Sketch to Arduino

Yesterday I updated to the Arduino IDE 1.6.1 and since I did I cannot upload any sketches to my arduino. When I try I get the comment

"Arduino: 1.6.1 (Windows 8.1), Board: "Arduino Uno"

Sketch uses 1,030 bytes (3%) of program storage space. Maximum is 32,256 bytes.

Global variables use 9 bytes (0%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2,039 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2,048 bytes.

avrdude: ser_open(): can't open device "\.\COM1": The system cannot find the file specified.

Problem uploading to board. See http://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Troubleshooting#upload for suggestions.

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
enabled in File > Preferences.

Anyone know what I could do to fix this problem??

With the board disconnected check in tools->port and see what is there.

Then plug the board in. If there isn't a new port you have a driver issue. If there is use that.

I thought I had checked the driver and they were up to date, but it turns out they werent. Thanks for the help.

So how do you ensure drivers are installed i went on the website seedstudiio gave me but all i seem to have done was restart my computer without the "Driver Signature Enforcement"
