| # Getting started | ||
|
|
||
| Before you begin set up, confirm that you can turn on your Zune device and that is working as expected. | ||
|
|
||
| :::note | ||
|
|
||
| I confirmed that these instructions work when using a Zune HD. If you have an earlier Zune model, you should be able to follow these instructions as well. However, the apps and games can be installed only on a Zune HD. | ||
|
|
||
| ::: | ||
|
|
||
| ## Prerequisites | ||
|
|
||
| - PC running Windows 10 | ||
|
|
||
| :::warning | ||
|
|
||
| In Windows 11, the Zune driver does not automatically install after plugging in the device. I'm currently troubleshooting the issue and will update these instructions after I find and confirm a resolution. | ||
|
|
||
| ::: | ||
|
|
||
| - Zune device | ||
| - Zune charging cable | ||
| - [Notepad++](https://notepad-plus-plus.org/) | ||
| - You'll need to make admin changes to the "hosts" file in Windows. To do this, you'll use Notepad++ since the default text editor in Windows may not allow you to make administrator-level changes. | ||
| - Internet connection |
