If you have a micro-SD card pre-installed with NOOBS, as described above, the first boot will install the operating system. By default, it will be the latest Raspbian OS when the card was manufactured.
 
If you want to install Raspbian, and it is not pre-installed, download from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads. That imager is run on any device, say your pc, and then you select '''write''' to save it onto the micro-SD card (don't forget this overwrites anything already on the card). This should work without a need to format the card first,(but if you do need to format it, do so using a SD card formatter downloaded from https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/index.html, not the Windows format tool). After this image has been stored it will have created two partitions (one the boot partition can be accessed by Windows, but the larger partition is invisible to Windows).
