Default Replacing a shutoff valve

Hello all,

I want to replace the shutoff valve to my home.

The existing valve has threaded female ends as you can see on the photo he

How would I take the old valve out and then put the new valve (a ball valve) in?

I see on youtube videos describing cutting the pipe out, soldering extensions, etc. I hope these are not necessary.

Thanks!

Where does the pipe going down from the valve go ? Is there another
fitting you can see, or does pipe disappear into floor or wall ?

Unless there is a fitting called a "union" somewhere close, you are into
major wrench work.
