All you need to install any version of Raspberry Pi OS is the Imager tool, an SD card and reader, and around ten minutes.

If you order a Raspberry Pi without an SD card preloaded with New Out Of Box Software (NOOBS), you will need to provide your own SD card and manually install an operating system.

The Raspberry Pi 2 Windows 10 images don’t use the deduplication features, or this would have been much more annoying to write.

Once the EEPROM is updated, the Raspberry Pi 5 can transition from using a micro SD card to a more durable and faster NVMe SSD for booting and running its operating system.

Well, you can supercharge a Raspberry Pi 5 by overclocking it and rigging it up with a superfast SSD instead of using a microSD card to run the operating system from.
