Yes, you can definitely do that! You can use your main PC to download the OSes first, which is much faster. Just go to the PINN OS download repository and grab the OS folders you want.
Then, manually copy those folders into the os directory on your SD card where PINN is installed. When you boot your Raspberry Pi, PINN will detect them and let you install without downloading again.
It saves a lot of time, especially if your Pi is stuck with slow WiFi. Just make sure to safely eject the SD card after copying the files.
