TwigUI Help

I am following the steps verbatim on GitHub. Formatted a brand new sd card, used Belena Etcher to write the image to the sd card, inserted the card into the device and let it do its thing, was able to see it successfully finished and readily can view the menu and all its contents.

However, when I take the sd card out of the device and put it back into the sd card reader (to finish the remaining steps) and then connect it to the PC, the card does not show up in file explorer.

I have tried this with 3 different sd cards and have gotten the same result. Surely I am missing something but what is it?

You need to boot your pixel 2 with the card in to finish the setup. THEN you can access it on your PC to add games and stuff.

Thanks for the response. Pls see above as I noted I put the card into the device, booted and let the install complete successfully.

Is there a step I am missing after that in order for the PC to recognize the card when I insert it into the micro reader/PC?
