I have also just done this, following a very similar process described above. Everything appears to be working but I’m finding my computer is extremely slow, it is a 2019 Mac Air with no other issues that I know of, so should not be slow. I’m wondering if it is big sur that has caused this or the external booting or a combination of the two
