@sdetweil
Thank you for the reply, Sam.
I am indeed using a 4. AND vnc is my connection, unfortunately.

This reddit thread mentions possible fixes for that. https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/175dw97/comment/k4fia8o/?share_id=TNg-oqa439pj6ZLxNBGMP&utm_content=2&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_source=share&utm_term=1

I imagine booting and running off of the M2 would be faster, and more space, but havent tried yet.

@Nneuland there were some gpio problems on the early 64 bit versions, I haven’t tested any myself… so if you have devices attached to the gpio I would suggest testing on an sd card first…

also, if your pi is a 4, then the 64 bit uses a new graphics display manager, wayland, instead of x11… and currently vnc is broken

make a backup of your mm setup…
see https://github.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror-backup-restore

use my install script for new install.

my pi4 I boot off sd card, but run off a USB SSD stick… this was built before the boot from USB support was available…
(it works so I don’t fiddle with it)
