[BUG]: Imager installation configuration

[WhoIsAvailable]

What happened?

A bug happened! When the user chooses to set the installation configuration options, the Imager should check to see whether SSH is actually available on the host machine before allowing the selection of the generation of a new private key. If SSH is not available then the Imager should not allow the selection of that option.

It should also explain what information is required to be entered on the line underneath the “Allow” button.

The “Getting started - Raspberry Pi Documentation” also needs to provide more information about the use of this option.

I was running on Win7Pro SP1 where it seems that I have no native version of SSH.

[lurch]

I was running on Win7Pro SP1

I strongly suspect that we won't be making tweaks to Imager to support an OS that's been officially unsupported for over 4 years.

The “Getting started - Raspberry Pi Documentation” also needs to provide more information about the use of this option.
