How to go about switching from AMD to Intel (alien.top)

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!

An SSD out of an AMD system will work just fine in an Intel system. There is no need to offload the data and the like.

You may want to do a clean install of Windows. Your data will still be safe if you do this.

If I were you, I would just swap the mobo and CPU, plug everything in, and test the system. I would only do the Windows reinstall if you see issues.
