This post is part of the series on preparing a new SD card to install a new Raspberry Pi operating system; this series is a sub-series of the Adventures with a Raspberry Pi.
With the SD Card Formatter tool, it is easy to create a bootable SD card for the Raspberry Pi.
I’ve used the tool to install NOOBS, but there are a number of other OSes available. However, if you go with NOOBS, it includes a few different operating systems, some of which allow additional software to be installed (suchas Rasbian Lite which I used when installing a Pi-hole).
