   In truth I don't know enough to fully answer that question as I've   
   little idea what 'dd' is or does.   
      
   I would guess it is a Linux command and if so my only answer might be   
   - burn an image to SD card on a PC.   
      
   I was looking at Pi Imager because I should have a good reason for   
   rejecting the default method and because I was looking for the best   
   way in for a newbie, even newer than me. :-)
