Step 1 was easy. Now, with step 2, does it matter if I connect the external SSD to the Dell/Kubuntu or the Lenovo/Win10 when installing from the USB pendrive ??

Do the BIOS settings of the 'host' computer matter ? In terms of installing ? I would assume as it is the Lenovo/Win10 computer that I will be having the external SSD connected all the time, it makes no sense doing it from the Dell, is that correct ? Plus the Dell is failing more now, the video issues are worse.
