Review on Enhanced Element14 🔺 Raspberry Pi 3 B+ Motherboard by William Belczyk

**UPDATE: 2019-07-12 The ARM version is shown depending on the operating system you are using. Example: If you are using Raspbian you will see v7, but if you install something else meant for v8 (aarch64) like Ubuntu Mate (aarch64) you will see v8. To find out the version, open a terminal and type: cat /proc/cpuinfo, then press Enter. It will list the CPU for you or list the CPU architecture number 7 or 8. From 8 you can run the 64-bit version. Hooray! **UPDATE: 2018-10-01 Works great, but ships with ARMv7, not 8. Beware of false advertising** ———————————————————— Make sure first you have installed a micro card with the os of your choice. I have an SD card with the NOOBS installer for Raspbian OS (the de facto Raspberry OS). All I had to do was download the NOOBS files, format the SD card to FAT32, copy the NOOBS files to the card and connect it to the Raspberry Pi motherboard. When I turned it on, the motherboard recognized the system files and walked you through the installation, and you have a variety of operating systems to choose from. I also have another SD with RetroPie (operating system for video game emulation). Before connecting to the Raspberry Pi, you need to create a RetroPie image on the SD card. I bought a case with a fan for this thing, which also comes with heatsinks (a must have if you ask me). If you're new to Unix-like operating systems, learn a few terminal commands to learn how to do just a few things here, like running things as an administrator, navigating files, creating folders, etc .This product is a great purchase. If anyone has any questions about this, feel free to comment.
