Laravel 10 Migration

I'm having a world of trouble with migration. As I understand it you need to have an existing database to perform a migration. I'm on Windows 10 and am trying to create and export a database for Laravel to do a migration on. Can this be done with XAMPP and phpmyadmin? Apparently exporting is not possible with no tables BUT Laravel wants to create the tables itself during the migration process. This CAN'T be this convoluted - can it???? How does one do this?

what database are you using, mysql? as far as I know, you configure mysql both in the database, and the credentials in your laravel configs, then just run the migrations using artisan
