If you need help message me. I had to fight my way to getting some things to work. I’ll do what I can for you.

This is what I use https://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/dd-utility-write-and-backup-operating-system-img-and-iso-files-memory-card-or-disk

This runs on Linux though. Look for free ghost or disk clone software if you want to stick to windows. They shoulnt care what is on the disk (sd card)
