Need Suggestions for getting started on Hardware pentesting.

Bought a refurbed laptop

Dell latitude 16 GB RAM, i7 gen 10, 256 SSD

I am thinking to install Kali as the base OS. Is that enough for me to get started. I did use VMs before however there was a lot of connectivity issues between devices and ports. Thought best to setup a separate device.

Would appreciate some advices from the community. Any resources that i should refer.

Thanks
