Try
SQL Server Migration Assistant
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssma/sql-server-migration-assistant?view=sql-server-ver15&viewFallbackFrom=sql-server-2019
You need an mysql odbc driver for that (of course), because you have to connect both servers.
You can try mysqldump
mysqldump --compatible=mssql
But that doesn't work everytime, and if that sql is to big you can get problems.
the rest -u and -p you should know waht you have to add evntually you need also --extended-insert=FALSE
Also phpmyadmin has an option to make an Backup in mssql Format, for that you switch to sql compatibility, but you need a websever plus pho for that.
