Restore backup from existing 4.1.7 to fresh 4.2.1?

I'm hoping to update my hotspot from a Pi-Zero W to a Pi-Zero 2, so I thought that I might update to Pi-Star release 4.2.1 at the same time. Can I use a backup from my 4.1.17 Pi Zero (.zip file set) directly to configure the Zero 2 after doing a fresh SD card burn and install of 4.2.1?

Thanks,

Yes, it worked for me going from 4.1.8 to 4.2.1 as I just placed the zip backup and the wpa_supplicant.conf files on the boot partition and it just did it.

The Pi Zero 2 W is a lot nicer for running the dashboard!
