Hey there,
When itunes asks if you want to back up your music, it is just asking you if you would like to burn them to a disk. If you have a lot of music, and you say yes to backing up your songs, it may ask you if you would like to put them on multiple disks. Click yes and have a few blank disks ready. Put in the first disk and hit 'back up', then after it fills up the first disk with music it will ask you to insert another disk. Put in another disk, then click on 'back up' again. If you do not have a ton of songs in your itunes, you won't have to worry about this.
Know that, if you back up your music to a disk, you can't actually listen to the music on the disk, the songs are just on it so that if your computer breaks down/crashes you don't lose all of your songs and have to buy them again later on.
If you decide to back your music up, you will be able to then take that cd you backed up the music onto, then put it on your new computer and upload the music onto another itunes on that computer. I highly recommend backing up your music, for if you don't... and your computer crashes, you may never get those songs or your money you paid for them back. Hopefully this made sense and helped you :p If you need help with anything else related to itunes, you can always inbox me <3
