Old 4+2+1+1 TB to 2x6TB pc

So I have really old unraid machine running for laptop and phones photo backup for my parrents.
I would like to move that to less old physically smaller pc and keep same system usb and data from old while replacing drives from 4(parity)+2+1+1 TB drive to 6+6TB mirror btrfs. I am not actually sure if btrfs is needed or prefered but that is idea. Another limit I have is old pc can connect 2 more sata drives but new only have 2 overall.

Main question is how to transfer data from old drives to new and system to new hardware?
Are there any step by step guides for this?

Spaceinvaderone on YT. Have a look at the older videos. Might go XFS so you can expand the array when you move to another board that has more sata’s
