Or do I flash the software from the microSD first and then proceed with step 2?

1.) Turn nuvi off
2.) Add SD in nuvi
3.) Turn nuvi on and flash in pre boot

Here you have all that you need:

This pack is created in this way that when you flash in preboot with rgn this will start command from SD and if all go OK you will have 14xx boot.bin on your unit.

p.s.

do I just add the microSD in the GPS but not switch it on until pre-boot in step 2?

Yes, correct
