Use SSD on desktop until Thin Client Arrvies

Configuration
1

Full disclosure…I’m brand new to HA.

I ordered a Thin Client with a m.2 SATA SSD to run HA. I was going to install the HA build onto the SSD via my desktop computer and then put the SSD into the Thin Client.

I already have the SSD but the Thin Client won’t be delivered for 2-3 weeks.

Is it possible to:
(1) start to build out HA using my desktop with the SSD connected?
(2) if so, would all the dashboards, integrations, etc. transfer and work upon putting the SSD into the Thin Client?

I want to start working on HA now but I don’t want to do that if I’ll just have to redo everything upon putting the SSD into the Thin Client. Thanks!!

It should work, but I would probably just install HA on your desktop or maybe in a VM on your desktop and when the thin client comes then install HA there and move HA with a backup and restore.

You might have learnt so much during those weeks that you actually wish to start over and do not feel it is that much work. :wink:
