## Preparing SD card?
## Preparing SD card

**Important note:** Make sure you use a **good, reliable and fast** SD card. If you encounter boot or stability troubles in over 95 percent of the time it is either insufficient power supply or related to SD card (bad card, bad card reader, something went wrong when burning the image, card too slow to boot -- 'Class 10' highly recommended!). Armbian can simply not run on unreliable hardware so checking your SD card with either [F3](https://fight-flash-fraud.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) or [H2testw](https://www.heise.de/download/product/h2testw-50539) is mandatory if you run in problems. Since [counterfeit SD cards](https://www.happybison.com/reviews/how-to-check-and-spot-fake-micro-sd-card-8/) are still an issue checking with F3/H2testw directly after purchase is **highly recommended**.

In case you chose an SD card that was already in use before please consider resetting it back to 'factory default' performance with [SD Formatter](https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter/) before burning Armbian to it ([explanation in the forum](https://forum.armbian.com/topic/3776-the-partition-is-not-resized-to-full-sd-card-size/&do=findComment&comment=27413)).

## How to boot

Insert SD card into a slot and power the board. (First) boot (with DHCP) takes up to two minutes with a class 10 SD card and cheapest board.

## How to login

First boot will log you automatically on HDMI or serial console while for SSH login you need to login as **root** and use password **1234**. You will be prompted to change this password. You will then be asked to create a normal user account that is sudo enabled (beware of default QWERTY keyboard settings at this stage). Please use [this tool](https://angryip.org/), to find your board IP address.

Armbian provides firmware package freeze to give you an option to upgrade all packages but firmware. This prevents unplesant surprises on functionality regressions that comes with kernel upgrades. To enable / disable this feature, look for `Enable Armbian kernel/firmware upgrades / Disable Armbian kernel upgrades` within [armbian-config](/User-Guide_Armbian-Config).

## How to upgrade a distribution

When a new userspace is out, we recommend to start with a fresh image. However, it is possible to upgrade, but the process is largerly in the domain of underlaying Debian or Ubuntu user space. However we provide experimental `Distribution upgrades` within [armbian-config](/User-Guide_Armbian-Config)

!!! danger
Userspaces distribution upgrades are neither tested nor supported. Therefore Armbian cannot provide support if something goes wrong.
