Thanks very, very much @BitMaxz and @seoincorporation!

Installing GnuGPG and the adventure continues...

Just to clarify, I'm "importing" the private key and not sweeping it in Electrum?

Are there any concerns or considerations I should be aware of when importing the key, entering it into Electrum and then executing the transaction?

Do I need to password the wallet and back anything up just in case?  Any settings i need to pay attention to?  Is it really as simple as importing the private key into electrum and then executing a transaction to move funds to my Ledger-generated wallet?

Cheers everyone.
