Let me add to what MarkHaysHarris777 wrote,
At this point in time HDMI -> VGA will most likely give you grief; in general, I would only recommend using active adapters and those cost more than they are worth. Again, this may change sometime in the future, but right now a HDMI connection to a screen with at supported resolution is the way to go.
One thing that is often overlooked is the importance of a good quality and thick micro usb cable - in the past month alone I must have helped ~ 10 people who couldn't get the board to work because of high AWG / poor quality cables.
Get yourself a solid 20-22AWG micro usb cable.
"Uh,uh. EDITED: Should I remove card after installation or leave it inserted on the board" -- NO, don't remove the SD card. You aren't installing anything, the OS is running live from the card.
