Sorry, no answer to your question but a friendly warning. Get rid of the USB stick as soon as possible. Many generations ago it was ok to run FreeNAS off of such a device. But the access patterns have changed and there is considerable risk that the thing dies any moment.

It should be that easy. Reload on SSD, then upload your config file.
I just wanted to post back saying it is that easy to install and configure TrueNAS from FreeNAS migrating from USB to SSD.
I save the config while using the USB. Installed TrueNAS on a SSD then reload config and everything back to normal except it is now running TrueNAS using a SSD. Both config and reload of config are done through the web GUI. Thanks.

My startup disk was a laptop HDD and I couldn't update from FreeNAS 11.3 to TrueNAS 12 CORE so I did almost the same thing like you. Instead of the Laptop startup disk, I installed TrueNAS core on a SDD and uploaded the config file (exactly like you did). Works indeed like a piece a cake.
The password from my FreeNAS startup laptop disk goes over automatically to TrueNAS CORE which is, of course, changeable (if need be) after the process.
Glad I bounced into this post/thread.
Thanks
