I run two full nodes, if I was ever to get fed up with doing so & decided to change to prune node on one or both computers would I have to resync or download the entire blockchain from scratch?
No. The nodes just need to delete the block files from your computer since it has basically gotten everything that it needs from the synchronization prior. The reverse is true however; you'll need to resynchronize if you want to disable pruning.
