OK, so I got delivered the 2023 UltraPAK external HD. I uninstalled the 2022 MegaPAK (after making sure all my work in it is saved to "Music" on my PC). Now I'm ready to plug in the UltraPAK HD for the first time, change the drive letter to "Z" (appreciate that tip!) and start making music with it.

Well, if the UltraPAK will run by itself from the USB port, why would I need to do any install at all, even if it's only a minimal install? Is installing some files necessary to run the HD?
