      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

                @greenwaydev After you insert that text save it by ctrl + x, then y and enter

                  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.

                      I used the image that was posted a few comments back. I can NOT for the life of me get the wireless to connect. I have followed every guide I can find and it will not connect. I have tried DHCP and static. I’m out of ideas.
