thanks, i will, i've shut down for the night... will try when home from work tomorrow... i am seeing a lot of errors from not having a public key, not sure if that would change anything, but the device was not able to even update from the OS that it came with when i bought it.

Your OS is Stretch, which is 2 steps backward of current Bulls eye (Stretch ->> Buster ->> Bullseye).

Better reimage your microSD card with latest image. Safer is to use a spare microSD card to write on it latest OS Bullseye,. Keep existing microSD card intact till new card is reimaged and is up and running satisfactorily.

First install Raspi Imager on your Desktop / Laptop.. (Windows or Mac)

Thanks all, managed to get it going, took the advice from here, formatted and installed bullseye on the sd card, then put it in the Pi... ran the 2 lines of command and we're off to the races
