I have followed your instructions.

1. Updated Org/Emacs to current versions
2. Created a directory and place all your org files in it.
3. Opened start.org. Ran the two emacs elisp routines. Assumed they worked as a I saw a scrolling list of files in the directory.
4. Used C-c C-o on the first link basic concepts 5, Emacs jumped to basic concepts. Showed a message in the 'saved in mark ring, use 's-SPC to go back'
5. Tried 's_SPC' but no return, it just puts a space in the heading line where my cursor is. 7 So tried C-x C- f to create new file.
6. Used C-c C-c in heading, called up tag, selected id: bit it did not create an id number. Questions: Did I use the wrong navigation keys, should 's-SPC' work? (ie. SHIFT-SPC') How is the ID number automatically created? When I open the tag list, what do I select to generate an index number?

Thanks for your help, please straighten me out on its use.

Not sure what you mean by this (but not sure whether it is important either).

Used C-c C-o on the first link basic concepts

That's not a keybinding that Zetteldeft provides. Try C-c d f to follow links. Use C-c d o to select a file to open.

So tried C-x C- f to create new file.

The Zetteldeft way of creating notes is with C-c d n. This should also generate an ID.

Also for the other steps you mention, please look at the keybindings shared in the tutorial.

With regards to tags: Zetteldeft tags are not Org-mode tags. Zetteldeft tags can take the form of #tag anywhere in the note.

Let me know whether this makes things more clear, as I'd like to improve the instructions of zd-tutorial
