    So you already have the new multisite installation in place? I would likely start there, but build it in a separate location from your existing sites (in other words, leave the existing sites alone for now). The documentation you can find online on how to set up a multisite environment with a new installation is quite good.

    Then, when you have that set up you can look at adding the sub-sites… Are all of the existing sites WordPress? I like BackupBuddy for migrating sub-sites in.

    This may be an overwhelming task for you as a beginner, so have patience with yourself. Any budget to hire a developer to get you up and running? That might be an easier and less expensive route in the long-run.

    Good luck with it.
