I have also been invited to join a Team.
Why would this option not be the other way around? Surely it's easier to start a new team with a new account/spin off email from your current pro account instead? I can't seem to see an option for this though.
Can you help, as I have lots of websites linked to updraft for backups. If I join the team invite and click 'yes' for a new account email and password, will I then have to change all the admin details for those websites, along with other people I have shared files with? Or does everything stay the same, even though I'll need to set up a different email and password for this new 'personal' account?

That is part of the onboarding. You have to almost force it to use the email you are already using to join the team. It asks, multiple times, to confirm you wish to join with your current email.

No. It stays the same the emails just change.
