Windows 10: Older Nook not connecting to computer

I have a Nook simple touch that I have not used in a few years. I'm attempting to update the Nook as well as load books on to it for an upcoming trip. I can not get the computer to recognize the Nook, although it has no problems connecting to other devices like my phone or my external hard drive. I have spent hours this morning reading several ways to fix this and it's not working. I've restarted the computer, I've tried different USB ports, I have uninstalled the drivers, none of it is working. I'm not a super tech-savvy person and don't want to mess up my computer or Nook by trying too many other things. Do you have any other suggestions?

Nook e-reader - connecting to network


It is because of how Barnes and Noble have their version of Android OS locked down. You have to physically connect to it with a USB cord to a computer. There is a N2A Nook2Android that gives you more access to use it as a Nook or as a Android tablet. N2A Cards Nook2Android | Upgrade your Nook HD+, Nook Tablet or Nook Color to Android 4.4 KitKat

 

Nook e-reader - connecting to network


I own a Nook e-reader. This will connect to my WI-FI network and is, indeed, connected to it. However, my PC cannot find the Nook on the network.
Can anyone help, please?
