As they explained, you will get a free horizon account with the transfer. That account doesn't have EDO. You will need to add EDO to it, regardless of any other account.
Console Profile Transfers and 2022 Updates

Oh fine. What's stopping you from logging into your Odyssey launcher with your console account details once its COPIED?
It comes with a free horizons account, without EDO. It is an alt.
Feel free to use my account as a test case...
It may be, i guess it would be the same as a deleted commander / clear save, it will not be an account merge.
Anyway, i would expect this will either cleared later on or you'd need to discuss it with the support - but i'm not seeing any stopper here

To be fair, you'd have had to do that if they'd released Odyssey on consoles, so it's not an actual loss.
The stopper is the transfer is to a new, free, horizons account.
not even if we clear the save on the existing PC account?
Don't decommission the carrier, buy 2nd carrier on PC, transfer cargo to PC carrier, decommission old carrier, transfer credits using new carrier. Or keep both depending on what you are doing the console account.
And for those of us who can't afford a PC I'm assuming Frontier are just giving us the finger then? Thanks for buying, playing, purchasing customisations for pilots, ships and srvs...but now your hooked we aren't bothered about you? Cheers guys

Its a fair point however, I wouldn't have bought it on PC if it was coming out on PS5.
What about the promised engineering rebalance?
Paul confirmed there will be no merge - it will be a new account
and Arf said on the stream that people will be given a free horizons copy - one per purchase (so if you have multiple XB/PS accounts on the same purchased copy, you'll get a single free copy of horizons)
So Arx are NOT being transferred but cosmetics ARE being transferred.
There is an * for the cosmetics transfer saying that applied cosmetics will remain applied. Is this a requirement or are non applied cosmetics also being transferred?
One thing to note. It would be a really nice gesture for FDEV to hold a black Friday-like event, where they make all of the cosmetics available and at a discount. This will encourage all of the console commanders to spend all of their Arx prior to the transfer, and more importantly, feel good about it.

The road map mentioned a key feature overhaul. My guess is it's that.
Cosmetics; this is ships will keep paint jobs but you'll keep access to purchased cosmetics?
Well... that is what everyone on PC has to do if they have more than 1 account.
Only if you need the 5 billion with your transfer, you can always leave the carrier commissioned until your PC commander gets a carrier of their own to pick them up. Won't help for rares or anything that can't be placed up for sale on the market.
Then you can either leave your console commander as they are with the old carrier, or even decommission it, and then buy some overpriced commodities from your pc carrier to move the 5B over that way.
I'd suggest selling tritium for 500k/t then donate it straight back if you wanted that option.
