Question Upgrading Motherboard, CPU, RAM and SSD

[DacheZ]

Hello everyone,
So I'm planning to upgrade my Motherboard, CPU, RAM and buy a new SSD. I'm switching from Intel to AMD and I don't know the exact steps I should take to avoid any problems with the old drivers.
I also want to keep my older HDD's (2 of them) and I'd like to know how to back up the documents from the old HDD.
And I want to install windows on the new SSD, so how do I remove the old windows from the HDD so I don't get any errors?
Do I need to fully wipe my old HDD before installing the new parts? If yes, how exactly If i have windows on it?
Sorry if these questions seem dumb, but I've never done something similar to this, so I'd like to do everything perfectly step by step. I've looked at some videos I found but none of them seem to explain in detail how to do it.
Thank You!

You can view it through explorer and access files if you wish, or whatever you want.

What is the budget and in which country will you be purchasing?

Do you have a discrete GPU? Are you going to use one, or will onboard iGPU's be okay?

What are your main uses, and what are your goals if gaming?

What monitor do you have?

After the completion of OS installation.

If there is absolutely nothing you need on that partition, you can delete the files individually or you can delete the entire partition.

It's up to you to know if there is anything worth keeping on that partition......personal files, bookmarks, email, whatever.
