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.
