Ways to seamlessly migrate an existing DC (windows server 2012) to a new server (windows server 2016).

I have an existing domain - but I was given a task to reconfigure a new one.
I have zero experience in this field some maybe some/all of my questions may sound stupid for you guru.
1) How do I create a new DC without the need to manually reconnect each and every client to "new domain". It seems to me that the new domain should have a new UUID even if it has the same name as the previous one? What is the industry standard way to do it? Do I need to migrate from the old server to a new one? Or isn't it enough just to migrate, and I have to add a new DC to an existing forest.
2) What are the instruments to migrate - DNS, DHCP, GPO, and Active Directory itself? Is there a way to migrate it selectively? so wrong settings from the previous DC won't go to a new one?   
3) How do I properly install a new DC with a minimum downtime? Is there a proper way?
