        So what I did was format the sd card and use win32 disc imager to flash the sd card, put it my my Pi Zero and it worked.
        After install I got rid of some stuff via the config file as I didn’t want all that stuff on my MM.
        Cheers!

          Changed the display_rotate setting back to 0 but the display is still turned. Any suggestions?

            Did you reboot?

              @Mikgabo I unplugged the pi, removed the SD, and changed the rotate setting. Then, I put it back in and plugged the pi back in.

                @greenwaydev I’m thinking you aren’t making the adjustment in the right location (possibly).

                Try this from terminal:

                sudo nano /boot/config.txt
                

                and add the following to the file. Where you add it doesn’t really matter:

                # Rotate display virtically
                display_rotate=0

                    sudo reboot

                      @greenwaydev Here is a great tutorial that can help you learn your way around MM.
                      https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/6

                      I would recommend, once you get your MM configured the way you like to make a back up of it using win32 disk imager (make sure .img is on the end of the file or it won’t save as a disc image). That way if you mess up your SD card somehow you have a back up to use.
