QuestionI am a non techie but have used Linux in the past. I am looking for a computer to hook up to a large monitor to watch YouTube videos', get email, and surf the web. Will I be able to get the Pro Starter Kit to do this without any programming knowledge?
Asked 5 years ago by Tcugrilla.
- Answer Yes. All you have to do is insert the Micro sd card and it will take you right through the setup. Not hard at all.

QuestionCan i use this like regular computer with windows 10?? Im doing for class cybersecurity
Asked 4 years ago by YellowJade.
- Answer It comes with a microSD card preinstalled with NOOBS which gives you a selection of (mostly linux based) operating systems to choose from. There is a Windows IoT OS for raspberry pi but it's probably not quite what you're after. It is apparently possible to get a full Windows 10 desktop experience on a raspberry pi 4 through the Windows on Raspberry project but at first glance it doesn't seem like a straightforward process like installing windows on a standard x86_64 system would be - and one of the requirements is a computer running windows 10. While possible, it's probably not easy or practical.

QuestionCan this connect to an iPad Pro?
Asked 4 years ago by Lou.
- Answer So not sure what you mean by connect to an iPad Pro. Essentially the Pi is a small Linux base computer that can be used for a variety of projects and applications. All though your question did lead me to do a quick search on using an iPad as a display for a Pi, I never thought about doing that but it is an interesting concept that I might have to explore. Here is a link to a blog post on just such a project. https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/connect-your-raspberry-pi-4-to-an-ipad-pro/ Good Luck! and if you do get a Pi have fun with it. PB

QuestionWhat is the advantage to having a 32GB or 64GB card with this device? Companies such as Jameco and AdaFruit sell 16GB preprogrammed cards with NOOBS. Why might one need the additional space?
Asked 4 years ago by Anon.
- Answer Just so you know, you cannot write to the SD Card like you do a regular hard drive. Over time it will fail so it is best to use the SD Card just for the OS and then use an external drive for data like backups as was mentioned in the original answer

QuestionMention whether or not this kit contains a touch screen
Asked 4 years ago by Leonardo.
- Answer I just happened to come across this question (very late but if you are regaining interest then here you go!) This kit does not come with a touch screen monitor for the raspberry pi4. There are however, many touchscreen products that are compatible with this product on the market. A quick search should bring up multiple products with compatible drivers that you can use, as you can not just use any touch screen product. Hope this helps!

QuestionIs this the 64 bit version?
Asked 5 years ago by Anil.
- Answer Yes. I purchased the 64 bit version. Works great. Runs smooth and has good response time. Hard to believe something that small has the speed and response of a laptop or desktop. I keep it plugged into my 60 inch tv and use it almost every night. Easy WiFi and Hotspot connections also.
