Well, as it seems you are really lucky, soundman1000 - I wish I were, too! BalenaEtcher looks nice and simple and straight forward, but unfortunately it isn’t! I choose the .img file, select the target stick, press ‘Flash!’ - then I get asked for the password, of which I think it’s meant to be the admin password… but nothing happens! So, I fully agree on the simplicity of the program, although nothing happens… ---

Hi @whoozl Would you like to create a separate thread about the issues you have faced? Would love to help figure what’s happening there ---

Hi Anuj Thanks for approaching me! I’ll just give it another try but then I’d love to open a new thread. Though to be honest, I don’t have much experience with forums, leave alone opening a new thread, but that shouldn’t be too difficult. If problems arise, I’ll ask you for assistance, ok?
