I purchased some monero and successfully sent my funds to my GUI desktop wallet. Stupidly, I created the hardware wallet account on the GUI desktop AFTER I had already sent the funds to my "regular" GUI wallet. It seems as if it is possible to essentially send the funds "to myself" via transaction from non-hardware wallet account to my hardware wallet account. Am I correct in utilizing a transaction in this way to secure the funds on my hardware?

Yes. Different wallets are like different "accounts" in that you can transfer them around as if they are separate people sending transactions to each other.

This is not quite true. "accounts" are a wallet level feature to group addresses in a wallet. A wallet can have many accounts. Sending from a hardware wallet to a non-hardware wallet are what the user needs to do.– jtgrassie ♦May 1, 2021 at 0:31
