    Just a suggestion:

    Why not install Magic Mirror on your Windows machine?

      Why not just set up the pi to a external monitor?
      Then use filezilla and notepad++ for editing on the windows mashine

      else use just the browser on your windows mashine

        I don’t have a spare windows machine to run the mirror on, so I thought the Pi should do.
        But I see your point! I am currently a total beginner at this, so my understanding of how the systems are compatible with each other are fairly limited.

        @Lange
        The problem is that I don’t have a USB microphone for the Pi, so I thought about editing the Google Assistant module on the laptop and using the built in mic to do some testruns.

          Well, you don’t need a spare machine at all. You can install MM right on your existing Windows laptop without changing anything on the laptop other than the installation. You can do all your dev work and test runs there and it’s much faster than working on the Pi.

          I have a Pi in my first mirror, but I also have MM on my windows laptop and my Windows dev machine. I don’t do any of the actual work on the Pi at all. I’ll go out on a limb here and say you’ll be very happy if you install MM on your laptop. :^)

            My son uses Atom, but I swear by Notepad++
