Step 2： if the red LED on the back of the board is on, that means the board is powered. Then Micro: Bit main board V2 will appear on your computer as a driver named 'MICROBIT'. Please note that it is not an ordinary USB disk as shown below.

Congratulations on completing your first code! You should now see the 5x5 LED dot matrix displaying various patterns.

Next, I will demonstrate downloading the written code to the computer and uploading it using a different method.
