Move node from PC/VMWARE to PC with only Umbrel/node

I have a MINI pc (SER5 Win11 VMware) running windows 11 with VMware running umbrelos and the bitcoin node software. I have 89% of the coin base downloaded. I would like to make this same MINI PC a node without the overhead of Win11 and VMware. I have tried to move the bitcoin data to a usb drive but cant get it to show on the umbrelos terminal. LSBLK doesnt show the drive. I have the USB drive showing and on in VMware. I would rather not work with VMware as it’s very heavy use on the PC CPU. Any ideas that a nube could follow to get this done…? SSH maybe? Or copy to another PC running umbrelos… ???
