if you want to move to another Windows phone, simply log in your MS account in new one and enable SMS sync in both.
I suggest you to choose 1 month period.
Then, new phone should sync automatically via cloud / OneDrive, where sms are backupped (if you enabled backup when using phone first time)

You can also use the Contacts+Messages Backup app from the store to export your SMS/MMS and Contacts to your SD card. You'll need a compatible Windows Phone and the app to restore it with, however.

There is also a Store app for the PC called Windows Phone Message Backup that will bring all your messages to PC for archiving.
