I have manually migrated a wordpress site to localhost using xammp with no problems. There are several references on the Internet on how to do this ----
https://www.wpexplorer.com/migrating-wordpress-website/, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wROa37k_RQA, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8LgYkfnJpc, etc. It works like a charm. I have gone this route as WordPress plugins for migrating sites do not always work. One of the steps in the manual migration is to export your SQL database from one site and import it into the target site. The normal SQL program is phpMyAdmin. The SQL program inside Local (Flywheel) is adminer. I am having trouble understanding how this program works and there is very little information on how to use it on the Internet.
