Move posts from a non-wordpress site to wordpress

If the previous posts are a service supported by WordPress’ importer you could try using that. https://wordpress.org/support/article/importing-content/

If that doesn’t support your previous blog service you could try WP All Import http://www.wpallimport.com/

I’ve used both of these methods with pretty good success.
