Develop CMS on Own Machine B4 Hosting?

I am a relatively nontechnical WP beginner and wish to develop WP to use as a CMS and blog.

Would it make more sense to install WP on my desktop for development then migrate to my server when the site is ready for the public or just start by installing on my server and developing privately there?

I am thinking about ease of use and speed during development. Wouldn’t it be better locally?

But I am concerned about encountering potential but unknow problems subsequent to migration? Is this something to be concerned about?

thanks for your help!
