→The Micro-SD card
| Line 59: | Line 59: | ||
Setting up a Pi is simple assuming you have bought a micro-SD card that is, either pre-installed with [https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/blob/master/installation/noobs.md NOOBS], or with the Raspbian Pi operating system pre-installed. NOOBS makes it easy to install (by default) Rasbian (insert the SD card into the Pi and when you power up the Pi, the operating system will be installed during that first boot. If you have a model with an Ethernet connection, and that is connected first, then NOOBS can offer a choice of other operating systems, or you can download another compatible operating system and install it on the micro-SD card. | Setting up a Pi is simple assuming you have bought a micro-SD card that is, either pre-installed with [https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/blob/master/installation/noobs.md NOOBS], or with the Raspbian Pi operating system pre-installed.

If you want to be able to use the micro-SD card in other devices (like your PC), you may need to also buy an adapter which allows the micro-SD card to be plugged into a standard SD socket. This may be included if you buy a micro-SD card not sold specifically for the Pi. | |||
