  i like to keep things simple so i don't do encryption,
etc.

  if you have space on the SDD i would create an extra
partition and install Buster to that directly and
then go from there.  likely it will also have UEFI
for which i use refind to manage the boot process
so if there isn't a boot partition for efi it may
be good to set up one for that too.
