Installing ssh

Please keep in mid that those instructions are if you have a recent version of windows 10, if you don't have anything that is more recent than a 2019 version, please update your Windows 10.

Windows does not come pre-installed with ssh, which is what we will be using to access the pi. Fortunately now with Windows 10, you can install ssh quite easily.

Open a new PowerShell windows as an administrator (right-click the powershell icon and select "Run as an administrator")

Copy and paste the command
