If your computer is running Windows
7 or a recent distribution of some
flavours of Linux (such as Ubuntu),
you typically don’t need to prepare

you’re running an earlier version
of Windows or another operating
system, you may need to prepare
your computer to establish a network
connection via USB. For the most
