*download "Win32Diskimager":

https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
->run it to install the software
  • Insert the SD card into your SD card reader -> Note the drive letter assigned to the SD card. (You can see the drive letter in the left hand column of Windows Explorer, for example G:)
  • Run Win32DiskImager utility.

  • In the SD-Card Folder "boot", create a new textfile without any letters in it.
  • rename the textfile to "ssh" ("newtextfile.txt -> rename -> ssh)
