There are three main options for OLPC XO users: ~~(1) run~~ v0.84 Sugar on a Stick ~~on an~~ SD card ~~(2) install~~ v0.84 Sugar on a Stick on the internal NAND~~; or (3) use~~ olpc-update (which is currently Sugar v0.82).

There are three main options for OLPC XO users:

# Run v0.84 Sugar on a Stick from a USB flash drive or SD card

# Install v0.84 Sugar on a Stick on the XO-1's internal NAND flash memory

# Use <tt>olpc-update</tt> to update to the latest software release from OLPC (which is currently 8.2.0 incorporating Sugar v0.82).

'''Note:''' The OLPC XO-1 has some built-in protections ~~including a~~ lock ~~designed~~ to prevent haphazard software changes. In order to use either [[#Option 1: Run v0.84 of Sugar on a Stick from an SD card or external USB|Option 1]] or [[#Option 2: Install the v0.84 Sugar on a Stick image|Option 2]], XO-1 owners must [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activation_and_developer_keys request a developer key from OLPC.] ~~It may take~~ up to 24 hours ~~after the request has been made to receive your developer key~~.

Create the USB stick as described on the [http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Installation/Windows Sugar on a Stick/Installation/Windows] page in the "Instructions for creating a Sugar-on-a-Stick USB key from Windows" section.

Do '''not''' boot this stick on your Windows machine. Make sure the first boot is on your XO. If you do boot the stick on ~~an other~~ machine first, the X server setup needed for the XO will not be done.
