Hi mademoisellesci,
WordPress.org works differently, You cannot simply create an account and transfer the site. You need to have a hosting account and then you need to install WordPress on it. And then you have to go to tools -> export and then export all. Now you can import the same in your wordpress.org site by going to tools -> import.
thanks and regards

Hi there,
Purchasing domain name alone won’t work on WordPress.org. You will need a hosting plan to host your WordPress.org website.
This article should explain the difference: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/whats-the-difference-between-domain-name-and-web-hosting-explained/.
Please ask the hosting plan provider how you could connect your Google Domain to their hosting. They should be able to guide you.
https://support.google.com/domains/answer/4522141?hl=enAfter connecting your domain and created the WordPress site, use the steps stated above by ajithnow to export your WordPress.com site and import it to your WordPress.org site.
The more easy solution would be upgrading your WordPress.com plan, and you will be able to connect easily with the help of email support/live chat.
