  my backup is placed in self-hosted blog. I want to transfer all data including photos to the free wordpress.com.

  As the hosting will be expired, I want to use free wordpress.com and transfer all data to free wordpress.com.

  I have backup all files, photos and SQL.

  But I do not know how to do?
