Overview of Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is a series of small single-board computers developed in collaboration between the Raspberry Pi Foundation and Broadcom. It doesn't come with an operating system, but you can choose to install a fully customized operating system on your Raspberry Pi, typically by burning a downloaded operating system image file to an SD card.

Here is a list of operating systems compatible with the Raspberry Pi:

    • Raspbian
    • NOOBS
    • Ubuntu MATE
    • Snappy Ubuntu Core
    • Windows 10 IoT Core
    • OSMC
    • LibreELEC
    • PiNet
    • RISC OS
    • Weather Station

Comprehensive guide: How to install Raspberry Pi OS on an SD card

How to Install the Raspberry Pi Operating System on Your PC

Step 1: Download and install the latest version of Raspberry Pi Imager.

Step 2: Insert the SD card into a card reader or adapter connected to your computer.

Step 3. Open the Raspberry Pi Imager app and choose the operating system you want from the list.

Step 4: In the Device dropdown, select your SD card.

Step 4: Click “Write,” and wait for the writing process to finish.

Raspberry Pi SD Card Benchmark

【Format an SD Card for Raspberry Pi 1, 2, or 3 in FAT16 or FAT32】

Your SD card should use the FAT file system, either FAT16 or FAT32; high-capacity SDHC or SDXC cards that use the exFAT file system are not supported. To set up an SD card fully compatible with the Raspberry Pi, format any card larger than 32GB to FAT32 using the recommended free partition manager, or convert exFAT to FAT32 on Windows 10, 8, 7, XP, or Vista.

Please download the tool – free Partition Manager and format your SD card following the guide below.

Warning

Formatting will delete all data on the memory card. Make sure you have transferred all important data to a safe location.

Step 1: Right-click the partition on your SD card that you wish to format, and select “Format.”

Step 2: Set a new label, file system (NTFS/FAT32/EXT2/EXT3/EXT4/exFAT), and cluster size for the selected partition, then click “OK”.

Step 3: Click “Yes” in the dialog box to continue.

4. Click “Run 1 Task” from the toolbar, then click “Apply” to begin formatting your SD card.
