Ahhh, 7-ZIP will convert these .xz files to an .img file. Slow, but it works. I have now done this and used Etcher to flash a USB thumb drive with the image. So what remains now is to convince the Pi that it's OK to boot from USB. I always found Linux OSs a struggle but that's probably because of my ignorance more than anything else.
