The Raspberry Pi is a flexible single-board computer used by enthusiasts to create electronics projects. Enabling SSH access on your Pi allows for remote command line access from client devices such as laptops. On Windows laptops, the open-source PuTTY tool allows you to open an encrypted SSH session and safely administrate the Linux-based Raspberry Pi OS interface.
