Tethering using a Nikon D750 and Lr Classic

Question

Hello,I use Lightroom Classic on my desktop PC, running on Windows 10 Professional. I have my Lr catalog set up to be on my internal hard drive (designated Drive D) and save my raw and edited files to an external hard drive.I now want to start shooting tethered using my laptop (not the desktop PC). My laptop also runs on Windows 10 (home, not the Professional version of Windows 10).How should I go about this, bearing in mind that m Lr catalog is on my Desktop's internal hard drive. Should I set up a second Lr Catalog on my Laptop? Any advice would be greatly apprciated.

Should I set up a second Lr Catalog on my Laptop?Yes.!You need LrC installed on the Laptop, and a Catalog. However-You could use the External Drive for the Laptop Catalog which would make the next step so much easier-Then merge the Laptop catalog with the Desktop catalog by the function- [Import from another Catalog]So in summary-SHOOT ON LAPTOP-LrC installed on the Laptop,-The External Drive connected to the Laptop,-Create a new Catalog, saving it on the External Drive,-Tether the camera to the Laptop,-Set destination for the tethered files directly to a sub-folder of the Catalog on the External drive.ON THE DESKTOP-Connect the External drive,-Open your Desktop working Catalog,-[Import from another catalog] selecting the 'Tether' catalog on the External drive.
