The simplest way would probably be to just buy some external storage, like a usb drive, and move the files to that before switching. You can buy a 250GB usb hard drive for around $20 on Amazon.
If you're not worried about privacy and don't want to spend money on more storage, you could use a cloud storage service to move your files. I've used mega.io to do that in the past, but the amount of free storage is limited.
if you are worried about cloud security then you can encrypt things before you upload them
That's true!
