Moving from KnownHost to Wordpress

Hello! I have a website currently being hosted on knownhost, but the package I bought has more features than I need and I just ended up using it to make a wordpress site.

The ultimate goal now is to have one site hosted on wordpress. How can I transfer the site data from knowhost to the wordpress site? I have done several googles about it, but nothing tells me how to use knownhost specifically for this kind of migration.

From what I have found, my best bet is to make a new wordpress account, use the migration tool to take the knownhost site to the new wordpress account and start from there as a "new user" with all the old data. Is this accurate or is there a way I can use the already made wordpress account (made through knownhost and cpanel) to exist outside of knownhost?

Any help is appreciated!
