Use a USB cable to control the Raspberry Pi on the computer

Then enter pi in the username,
enter raspberry in the password and click OK, you can enter the UI interface of the Raspberry Pi, but it is a bit stuck .
Method 2: Use putty
If you don’t need the UI, connect to the WiFi in the upper right corner of the opened UI interface, then open the terminal, enter ifconfig, and check the ipv4 URL behind the inet in the second line of wlan0. This is the URL of the Raspberry Pi, which will generally not change. Write it down and mstsc can be turned off.
Then the next putty software from the Internet, it only has an exe file, and nothing else is needed. After opening it, enter the Raspberry Pi URL, then press Enter, and enter pi in the username and raspberry in the password, and then enter the Raspberry Pi terminal The interface can be used in this way later, which is more convenient.
