make a snapshot of Q4OS on a Notebook once all settings are as you want them and use it to install to a Desktop? I am conscious that the hardware will be different, but if possible, how easy is it to do? Or is it just quicker to do separate installs?

It's quite feasible for such install to use S4-snapshot https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4510 . If you want to start from a fresh system setup we recommend to use Desktop profiler with custom profiles https://www.q4os.org/dqa016.html

Many thanks. Would you advise installing to Notebook first, (client likely to want the full profile), use S4-snapshot on the installed Q4OS on Notebook and use the captured snapshot on the Desktop? Does this save the user and their login credentials?

Yes, install Q4OS on Notebook and create S4-snapshot. S4 has an option available to keep all user data and settings within the snapshot.
