The Arduino SW, under Tools, identifies my Uno as COM Port 3. However, COM Port 3 on my computer is in use by a chip set. My computer assigned COM Port 4 to mu Uno. Can I reassign my Uno to COM Port 4?

If the Arduino IDE identified your Uno as COM Port 3, your computer most likely has already assigned COM Port 3 to your Uno. You can double check the port assignment in Device manager > Ports.

The issue is that I am not an admin and do not have the ability to re-assign ports on the computer. Therefore, I would like to Re-assign the port that Arduino is requesting. It can't be that hard. – brianlloyd Apr 14 '16 at 16:27
    
This is not an answer. You can reassign the com port via the device manager... Assuming you are on a Windows PC – PhillyNJ Jun 12 '16 at 19:46

You can change your COM Port number for a device by following these instructions:
