Hello all, I am changing some components around in my pc and I am kind of confused on how to properly move all my info from my ‘old’ amd cpu/motherboard combo (ryzen 7 5800x/ Rog strix B550-F wifi) to my new intel i9 (12th gen) 12900k / Asus z-790 V Prime. I know how all the components go in and such, but not sure the best/ exact way to move all my data and files. I heard cloning is not the way to go.
So how do I go about moving all my data from amd to intel?
To my understanding I backup all my files (to somewhere?), erase everything on my ssds, factory reset the system sort of speak, then reinstall windows, install all intel drivers, and then transfer all my backed up data files to my recently erased ssds?
I was having trouble finding info about this procedure so any info and or links are truly appreciated!
Any recommendations are welcome!

You probably can get away with just hooking everything up and booting but I usually prefer to back up the data and do a clean install of windows every time I change the board.
