You want to transfer the operating system from the USB to the hard drive so you can boot directly from it. Start by preparing the USB with the OS installed, then use a tool like Rufus or Etcher to copy the files to the hard drive. Make sure to verify the installation before reinstalling if needed.

You can switch the BIOS to boot from USB by default. To relocate it, you need to install Linux on the HDD (erasing everything) or turn the HDD into a live CD. Essentially, don’t do this—just set USB as the default boot drive.

I initially planned to start from USB, transfer the operating system to the hard drive, and retain the USB as a backup for everyday tasks.
