The latest entry into the immensely popular Raspberry Pi Single Board Computer catalog, the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, provides an upgraded drop-in replacement to the Pi Zero W powered by a quad-core 64-bit Arm Cortex-A53 CPU. This guide highlights the improvements in hardware on the Pi Zero 2 W, how to install and set it up in a desktop configuration, and the basics of using the Raspberry Pi OS.
Our guide for the Pi Zero 2 W assumes you have the Pi Zero 2 W Basic Kit, so if you do not have the kit, make sure you have the necessary accessories (power adapter, mini HDMI cable, USB OTG cable or USB hub & a microSD card). Along with the Basic Kit, you will need a monitor (or TV), keyboard, mouse and USB hub (for more than one USB device) to follow this tutorial.

Please keep in mind that both of these products are extremely popular right now and with the global supply chain issues that are affecting our industry, lead times are subject to some pretty considerable changes and lengths.
