Great explanation, just a note that you must format the disk before copying the files to it and make sure they are in the primary directory, not a sub-directory. The Pi needs to see them upon start up.

[@djarcforceable]

Read up on the Raspberry Pi and have been intrigued by the project for a while. Recently I decided I needed to get separate hardware for my office and web browsing tasks so I could free up my rather expensive PC gaming rig to do nothing but game. At first I thought about just buying a cheap used Dell office PC but then I remembered the Raspberry Pi and I realized this was a perfect use for it... has all the features I could want for browsing and office tasks and it doesn't take up desk space like a typical PC does. Ordered a nice complete desktop kit with the Pi 4B - 4gb ram version and it came in the other day. Only issue is this... I've never used a Pi and have minimal experience tinkering with Linux based systems. Was cool to find your video on setting up a Pi. Much more simple than I expected it to be. Thanks for the great and helpful video!

[@MakeUseOf]

Even for simple web browsing tasks, the Pi is woefully underpowered. I'd recommend CloudReady / Chrome OS running on any old laptop/throwaway desktop. Absolutely flies.

[@DanielBrosman08211986]

​@@MakeUseOf Whenever I get any storage drive for my pc, I make sure to backup any data first before format it by plugging it in to the pc and I head over to disk management and do a format that way, everytime just in case there would be layers of files on the drive, I highly recommend doing that.

That is because Raspberry or these KZbin people will not tell you that you have to format the SD card in a format that Windows will not provide. You have to download a scary 3rd party software in order to get FAT32 format on a 64+ GB card. THIS pisses me off so much I am returning the Pi and refusing to ever use it.

Unless it has an ARM build, that won't work. But essentially you would burn the ISO to the micro-SD card, using a tool like Rufus or Balena Etcher.

[@Link00815]

@@MakeUseOf Thank you!

[@ManWellYT]

How come i cant see my microsd on my mac? I bought the same one that came with my raspberry pi 4

[@MakeUseOf]

If it's already formatted with a linux OS like Raspbian, you can't view that filesystem on Windows or Mac, or it's just blank and not initialised yet, in which case there's no partitions to view. A tool ike Balena Etcher should still be able to burn ISO images to it, or you can use Disk Utility to check if it already has some partitions. NOOBs does come with a readable partition though in which you can drop config files, but generally speaking you can't view a linux formatted boot card/disk on a mac or on windows.

[@ygrittesnow1701]

Very Noob question. The OS is on the sd card. If I take out the Noobs sd card and put in another OS this will load. Can I then return to the Noobs OS by just putting the Noobs OS back into the slot? Or is there information that is stored on the board that would preclude this?

[@MakeUseOf]

Nope, that's exactly right and one of the many great things about the Pi. There's no storage on the board itself, so everything is run and saved from/to whatever SD card you put in. So easy to try something new!

[@patrickoreilly2440]

I get a full rainbow screen when I power up the raspberry pi?

[@MakeUseOf]

That means your power supply is under-voltage. You need one that provides at least 2 amps. Check the adaptor plug, it will say something like 5v 500mA or similar, just find one that says 5v 2A or higher (higher amps, not higher voltage, that would be bad..)
