====Setting up SD Card for Raspberry Pi: Win32 Disc Imager====

===Summary===
Reads and Writes images for Raspberry Pi SD cards.  

===Acquiring/Verifying SD Card===

  - Locate an SD Card. Make sure that it is blank or that all existing data has been wiped.
  - Insert the SD card into a MicroSD Adapter.
  - Insert the MicroSD Adapter into APS laptop. 
     * MicroSD port is on the front of laptop
  - Check to see if the laptop is registering the SD Card/Adapter.
     * A new drive should pop up under "//ThisPC//" when using file explorer.
     * Often times it will be called "//Secure Digital storage device//" and be labeled as drive "//E://"

===Win32 Disc Imager Conversion Process===

  - Start by opening the Win32 Disc Imager on the APS laptop on the Desktop. 
     * A desktop logo should be apparent. If unable to find, search for the program under the search bar, or manually search within the Desktop folder. 
  - An interface should pop up. Under the Device dropdown menu, make sure the drive registered to the SD Card is selected. For example: "//E://".
  - Under image file, click the folder icon and locate the image file.
     * On the APS laptop, image files are located under "//C:/Images//".
     * Both 3d-Paws and Raspberry Pi 4 versions are available.
  - Click "//Write//" to begin writing the image to the blank SD Card.
     * Sometimes a "//beware of corruption//" warning occurs. Just hit OK and ignore the warning. 
     * This usually takes ~20-30mins to finish writing to the SD Card
  - A "//Write Successful//" message should appear after the Imager has completed.
     * Multiple drives may need to be formatted. Once done, eject the SD Card/Adapter

===Raspberry Pi Setup===
  - Take the SD card out of the adapter, insert into the Raspberry Pi, and turn on the machine. 
  - Upon initial bootup, allow the Raspberry Pi to reformat the SD Card.
  - Make sure "//Raspberry Pi OS Full (32bit)//" is selected and hit "//Install//".
     * Process should take a few minutes to complete. 
  - Hit "//OK//" on the "//Installation Successful//" button. The Raspberry Pi should then reboot.
  - Success! You have installed successfully. Follow the additional Raspberry Pi prompts for the final calibration and setup.
