I'm about to start using C++ for embedded and chose STM32F103C8T6 AKA Blue Pill for my first project. Using Keil MDK 5.34 on my Windows machine I went to practice this series but I get the following error when I tap on Flash -> Download (F8).
I tried many remedies notably, un-install/re-install the St Link V2 (screenshot below) driver, changing USB cable and port on the PC, and so on but no change in result thus far.
Why do I get that error and what are you ideas on solving this issue, please?
Thanks beforehand for your time and help.

Yes - but you wouldn't be the first to have thought that the free ST version applies to any & all STM32 chips.
Just making sure.
So now there's not a solution for any of the problems mentioned above? :(
Perhaps use authentic parts, then the software won't complain. Nucleo boards are pretty cheap in the scale of things, and wasted time.
Or use a U-Link or J-Link pod and build for the MCU you actually have

No:
They are not just alternate names for the same thing - which as what "aka" ("also known as") means.
