Install to internal HDD from USB drive
#1
I have LL3.6 fully installed (not LL live) on a USB drive. In the 'All' section of the Whisker menu is an entry for 'Install Release' (Install this system permanently to your hard disk).

My question is, can I use this option to install the working system from USB drive to internal hard disk, thus avoiding having to reinstall all my extra apps and settings?

If not can I make a ISO backup with Systemback from the USB drive and then install the backup to my internal HDD, which would need to be dual boot with Windows 10? I want to avoid a new clean install to the internal HDD.

As a last resort, would copying the USB drive to a pre-formatted partition on the HDD, using dd command work? I guess grub would then be a problem.

TIA
1) Lenovo T520 i5 LL3.8 8GB ram, fast & stable
2) Medion P4 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, quite fast & stable
3) eeePC 901 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, fast & stable
4) eeePC 701 32bit LL3.8 1GB ram, slower & stable but small and light enough to travel with me to New Zealand when visiting family in Blenheim.
