Yes, I agree some parts of my question are answered (and I already know that part....apologies if I did not make myself clear) by a Google search. I have no problem (I hope - fingers crossed) with the hardware part ...rather it is software part (and specifically the Weewx part) that concerns me. Can I just a) set up the USB boot b) copy and paste all the weewx folders from the SD card to the USB and, c) expect it all to run just as smoothly as before (at least in theory?).
