      So this is a newbie question obviously.

      1st - I downloaded the Noobs (offline & network version) from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/noobs/

      2nd -I downloaded RetroPie, now when I book up my Raspberry Pi 3 it goes straight to RetroPie

      How do I get the option of having the ability to access both RetoPie and Raspbian? I have read that there is a way to dualboot but the instructions are difficult for me to follow. Remember I am very new to this so please use keep it simple for me :)

        @jtu128 if dual booting is too confusing just use the RetroPie sd image we provide and install lxde after the fact: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#where-did-the-desktop-go then you can choose which one loads on boot with the autostart options

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/
