I've gone ahead and removed installation paths that aren't via Raspberry Pi Imager. Most users should use Imager, or the new Network Installation feature. Other routes are documented elsewhere on the web but aren't necessarily appropriate here on the official site.

== Installing the Operating System

Raspberry Pi recommend the use of https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/[Raspberry Pi Imager] to install an operating system on your SD card. You will need another computer with an SD card reader to install the image.

The bottom of installing-from-an-image.adoc links to https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/operating-systems/#third-party-software, but it seems that part of the page has been removed now.

==== Writing to the eMMC (Windows)

After `rpiboot` completes, a new USB mass storage drive will appear in Windows. We recommend following this xref:getting-started.adoc#installing-images-on-windows[guide] and using Win32DiskImager to write images to the drive, rather than trying to use `/dev/sda` etc. from Cygwin.

The "rather than trying to use /dev/sda etc. from Cygwin" part can probably be removed.
