If you are going to keep the old Orbi system, perhaps relocated to a different location, then there is an option in the Orbi "app" to do a "New System Setup". Then your account will have two Orbi systems to administer.
On the other hand, if the old Orbi is "going away", I would suggest creating a new Netgear account for the new system. It is the very devil to "unlink" a Netgear account from an Orbi.
p.s. Just personally, I always set up Netgear routers using the web interface, which provides access to Advanced options, such as assigning IP addresses to specific devices, customizing DNS, etc. etc.
