Yes, as long as it is sufficiently up to date.
Do an update/upgrade in the Pi2 first:
Shutdown, wait, power off, move the SDCard, and it should "just work" in the Pi0W.
Do an update/upgrade in the Pi2 first:
Code: Select all
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgradeSignature retired

Yes as long as you have a recent OS image. If not then you will need to update your OS image with:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPiOS Buster w/ Desktop OS.
