Transfering existing site to WordPress software

I’m new to WP Software and have only worked with [WP.com](https://WP.com). I have just started freelancing and one of my clients recently let go of the previous company who created his website. I have been provided with all of the WP login information and hosting login. I don’t want to break the site by editing from the website alone. I wanted to know if anyone can help me find out how to transfer everything to the actual software with any good videos or tutorials. I would really appreciate it thank you

  1. There’s a handy little tutorial on [WordPress.com](https://WordPress.com) showing you how you can export the whole site if you are looking to transfer it to a self-hosted version: [https://wordpress.com/support/export/#export-using-a-plugin](https://wordpress.com/support/export/#export-using-a-plugin)

    If your client is on a business plan, you can also set up a staging version of the site to test your edits on, so you aren’t doing it on the live website: https://wordpress.com/support/how-to-create-a-staging-site/
