selection and setup of operating system

How to set-up your Raspberry pi:
1.     Begin by slotting your SD card into the SD card slot on the Raspberry Pi, which will only fit one way.
2.     Next, plug in your USB keyboard and Mouse into the USB slots on the Raspberry Pi.
3.     Make sure that your monitor or TV is turned on, and that you have selected the right input (e.g. HDMI 1, DVI, etc)
4.     Then connect your HDMI cable from your Raspberry Pi to your monitor or TV.
5.     If you intend to connect your Raspberry Pi to the internet, plug in an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port next to the USB ports, otherwise skip this step.
6.     When you are happy that you have plugged in all the cables and SD card required, finally plug in the micro USB power supply. This action will turn on and boot your Raspberry Pi.
7.  My MicroSD card is pre-loaded with NOOBS into it. If you don’t have a pre-loaded MicroSD card then go to www.raspberrypi.org/help/noobs-setup to set up.

     As i stated above I had NOOBS operating system(os) pre-loaded into my SD card but there are different operating systems in https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/ which you can try to download but NOOBS is an easy operating system installer compared to the rest.
