I have an SD card which was painstakingly set up with various functionality (e.g. necessary packages, settings, etc...) on a Raspberry Pi Zero.
Now I want to replace the Zero with the Zero W (so I don't need to use the WiFi dongle).
I am pretty sure that I can take the SD card from the Zero and place it into the Zero W and it would just work.
My question is whether it's advisable. Are there performance implications? Other possible issues?
All Raspbian images should work in all models (provided they have been updated with suitable kernel/firmware).
It is, of course, possible to install incompatible software or configuration, but any reasonable settings work.
