Microsoft documents the PowerShell method; the exact console Package Wizard steps and labels are not established here, so use the GUI only after confirming them in your console version.
Export a legacy package with PowerShell
Open a PowerShell session that uses .NET Framework, connect to the Configuration Manager site, and run the cmdlet from that site drive. Microsoft’s example uses a network share and a ZIP destination:

Export-CMPackage -Id "ST120001" -FileName "\Deploy01ExportPackagesST120001.zip"Replace the sample package ID and share path with values from your environment. The account running the command needs permission to write to the destination.

The cmdlet requires .NET Framework and does not support PowerShell 7. Starting with Configuration Manager version 2103, running it in a PowerShell 7 session fails because it supports only the .NET Framework runtime.

Select the package
You can identify the package with -Id or -Name, or pass a package object returned by Get-CMPackage. See Microsoft’s Get-CMPackage reference for package lookup options.
Choose whether to include content and dependencies
Set the inclusion options explicitly for the export you need. Microsoft documents -WithContent $true to export all content for the package and its dependencies, and -WithDependence $true to export all package dependencies. The reference does not establish defaults for these options; inspect the resulting archive to ensure it contains what your migration or backup requires.
Export-CMPackage -Id "ST120001" -FileName "\Deploy01ExportPackagesST120001.zip" -WithContent $true -WithDependence $trueWhat to know about the Package Wizard
The exact location, page sequence, labels, and defaults for a legacy-package export wizard are not established here. Do not assume instructions for exporting applications or driver packages describe the legacy-package wizard. If you need a graphical procedure, verify the steps in the Configuration Manager console version you use.

Confirm you are exporting the right object type
Configuration Manager has separate export cmdlets for different object types. Export-CMPackage is for legacy packages; applications and driver packages use different cmdlets and references:

Export is different from import
To bring an exported legacy-package ZIP into another site, use Import-CMPackage, not the export cmdlet. Microsoft documents that the import cmdlet also requires .NET Framework rather than PowerShell 7. The export cmdlet’s optional -Comment value is an administrator comment displayed in the Import Package Wizard. See Microsoft’s Import-CMPackage reference.
