Hi there @marc22998b7acd7,
You can copy the current homepage to a new page using WodPress’s default option. You can follow this guide to know how you can do it: https://wordpress.com/support/copy-a-post-or-page/
After copying the page, you can create a new custom header and footer for the page. You can follow the guides below to learn how you can create a different header and footer for the new page:

After that, you can assign this new page as the homepage. You can follow this guide to know how you can assign a page as the homepage:

I hope this helps! :) -
Hi fozlarabbinafees, thank you for taking the time to provide input and feedback. This process is proving a little tricky. For background, I created my website for a digital marketing course based on a fictional battlefield tour company.
What I would like to do now is to take all that content I created on the current homepage and move it to another page so that I can create a new homepage with new content such as my work bio, etc. and a new header and footer.
And I want a link on the new homepage to link back to the current home page so that viewers can see the type of website I created for the course work.
But I keep running into template issues as I believe I have to use a new template for a new homepage. It seems pretty straightforward to make the necessary content changes for the new homepage, but then I lose my original homepage after I save. When I go to Settings->Reading, I do not see from the drop-down menu an option to choose the new template.
I hope this explanation for my objective is clear enough.
Thank you again.

Hi @marc22998b7acd7,
Thanks for sharing the details. As you will have two homepages (old and new), you need to set one as the actual homepage from Settings > Reading and the other link from the homepage. I am not sure how you planned to link it. I believe you can do it via a hyperlink.
If you create a new header for the specific page (new homepage), it shouldn’t change the old header. You can use Template Parts for that. I would suggest reviewing this guide about creating Different Headers for Different Pages, which could help you make a completely new header for the new homepage.
Let me know if I missed something. -
