He drags and drops the NOOBS files onto the SD Card. He takes the SD card and puts it into the Raspberry Pi, connects the screen, the keyboard, gives it power, and then continues with the install procedure.
He gets the Raspberry Pi booted up and walks you through the Noobs installer. The installer gives you some options such as edit config, wifi networks to connect to, and a list of operating systems available to install. In this instance, Felix is going to install Raspbian with the Pixel desktop environment. He clicks on the installer and shows you how long you can expect it to take. Once the operating system is installed, you can configure it to do whatever you want it to do, install additional software, and use the software that’s on there.
