  • Select Choose Storage;

  • Select your USB Mass Storage Device USB Device, make sure it is the SD card you inserted above;

  • Select Write;

  • A message will appear 'All existing data on 'USB Mass Storage Device USB Device' will be erased. Are you sure you want to continue?';

    • Select Yes;

  • Wait for the write and verify to complete (100%);

  • Close the Raspberry Pi Imager program;

  • Remove the microSD card from your computer;
