If you do not have another computer to run Raspberry Pi Imager you can start the application directly on a Raspberry Pi 4 or Raspberry Pi 400 by connecting it to the Internet with an Ethernet cable. This will allow you to install the operating system onto a **blank** SD Card directly from the network without using another computer.

IMPORTANT: Network installation is only supported on Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 400. Additionally, to avoid slowing down “normal boot,” the network instllation feature is only enabled if there’s no bootable media present, and you have xref:raspberry-pi.adoc#usb-mass-storage-boot[USB mass storage boot] in your xref:raspberry-pi.adoc#BOOT_ORDER[boot order].

You can re-insert them later when the Raspberry PI Imager is running. But take care not to overwrite any working disks that you want to keep!
