Doing a fresh install - docFarto - 02-02-2025
My friend gave me their old Pinebook Pro 14" after not using it very much.
They do not remember the password, so I would like to put a fresh install onto it.
They got this one in 2022 I believe.
I have a couple of questions I have not able find answers to on the forums.
firstly I have seen this: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinebook_Software_Releases#Factory_Restore_KDE_Neon_Community_Build_Image_.5BmicroSD_to_eMMC.5D_.5B20181028.5D
but I am not sure what the standard OS on pinebook is. I do not want to do anything fancy just get the original OS and flash it on.
So what is the standard OS for the Pinebook Pro?
Also is flashing that OS on through micro SD the best method for a fresh install.
Thanks for reading, any help is appreciated!
