What is the reason you cannot upload? You can't see the button? There's an error?
Please note that it's not possible to paste an image directly into the content of a post. The image will shop in the editor, but not in the post after you save it. You need to use the Inser Image button.
As a side note, as I imagine, you will most often use this feature to attach screenshots. For this, PNG is much better than JPG (which is designed for photos, not graphics), offering better (loss-less) quality and smaller file size.

If I click the Insert Image link, I get the dialog. If I browse to a file and Open the dialog disappears. If I type in the path to the file I can then click on the Insert, but the load apparently fails as the inserted link would look like this:

And get an http 404 :-(
