I've installed NOOBS and when to Raspian. I'm trying to connect a 7" display via a TFP401. As I understand I need to edit Config.txt to set the HDMI on yet I can't see a Config.txt file on the SD card when I read it on my laptop. Am I missing something?
New and would appreciate any help!

The NOOBS installer has its own, built-in editor for config.txt etc.**:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/noobs#ea ... ile-editor
(Accessed from "recovery mode" - hold/toggle a Shift key during boot)
Trev.
** Windows doesn't understand the part of the uSDHC (ie. the partition format of) card where config.txt lives (and, if you choose to install more than one O.S. there's a config.txt for each O.S. installed)

When running the Pi, navigate to the /boot directory (folder) (Gui windows display or command line) and you will find config.txt there - note the letters are all lower case. You can edit it with nano, vi or leafpad. You don't need to use windows or the NOOBS editor if you have been able to boot the Pi successfully

And remember to precede your (favourite) editing command with sudo eg. sudo nano /boot/config.txt
