Download the Allstar microSD image

Then download a windows app that will put the Allstar image on a microSD card connected to your windows PC.

Then move the microSD from the windows PC to the Pi.

Thank you kindly for the information.  So I do not need an operating system on the micro sd first, just the image of the allstar programming.  Here is a real rube question then.  I do need a cable to attach the Pi4 to a windows box.  USB to USB?
