You basically have three options.
Run a rooted stock on internal memory. To get that use Manual Nooter 5.08.20 in the development thread. Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22480277
Run a Cyanogenmod (CM) ROM on internal memory, replacing stock. Use eyeballers guide to set that up. Here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12797652
Or run a CM ROM from a bootable SD. Use my NC updated SD installation guide linked in my signature.
They each work equally well, just depends on what you want.

Right i understand that i was jut wondering why nobody follows the method on the cm website. Does it not work for certain versions? Does it not work at all?

It is probably out of date. Do you have a link. I could look.

That should work, but is so much more difficult than the eyeballer method. You have to make an unooter card, root stock with it so you can use ROM Manager. Then run ROM Manager to install CWM, boot to the new CWM and flash the CM ROM. A lot of extra steps. With eyeballers guide you just make a CWM card and flash with that. No need to root stock first.

Hello,
I have a Nook HD and it has been rooted with CM version 10.1-20130615-unoffical-hummingbid - android version 4.2.2. A few times the device has said there are updates that I should download. In settings, I see two updates available CM-10.1.3-RC2 and cm-10.1.3. My question can I just hit the download button and it will update automatically? Which one should I download? Will I lose everything that has been downloaded and I will have to reinstall everything (not a big deal)?
Thanks in advance for the guidance!
It depends on how you installed it originally. That is an old unofficial version. And it depends on whether you installed the internal CWM recovery, which I doubt since your ROM is that old.
The one you want to install is the CM10.1.3, that is the latest. If you install it over your old ROM, all your apps and settings will stay.
I recommend not using the auto update since so much is not known. But you should be safe to do it manually. Just go to the CM site and download the hummingbird CM10.1.3 zip and flash it with your bootable CWM SD.

Thanks Leapinlar - can you please provide the link to CM 10.1.3 and the instructions to install over my old ROM?
Go to the dummies guide for installing CM10.1. Follow the directions there for updating.

Leapinlar - I went to the dummies thread and found the link to the 10.1.3 stable version. But the updating instructions in the dummies thread says to update via the auto update in settings. You recommended that I don't do that and install 10.1.3 over the existing one. Do I just download the 10.1.3 and then boot into recovery and install 10.1.3 that way???
If you installed CWM to internal memory per the instructions in that thread, then you can use the CMupdater. If you have not, then download the CM zip manually and boot to your bootable SD and install it.

I believe I installed CWM to internal memory - is there a easy way to check this before I try the updater?
Just try the update, if it days install failed, it means it is not installed and then do it manually.

Thanks, the update using the OS worked, no need to do it manually. Do I need to update GAAPS?
Since you ROM was so old, I recommend updating gapps to 20130812.

Leapinlar - I went to the dummies thread and clicked the link for the Gaaps - it says it can't find the file - see link.

Can you point me to the correct site for the latest GAAPS? Also, how do I update the GAAPS?
Thanks,

But that cannot be flashed with the CWM used with CM11. You must use an older CWM that you can get at that same thread.
