Converting Road Bike to Commuter

Hi everyone!

I am new to BikeForums so I don't know if I am posting to the right place. If I am, forgive me

I am moving back home within the next month and I have a road bike hanging in my garage that I rarely use. Wanting to give me more outing time, I wanted to convert it to a more casual, lowkey style of commuter that doesn't scream "expensive road bike!!".. Instead of selling it, I wanted to convert it by taking off its Trek frame (selling it) for a plain colored (unbranded) frame and saving its parts for a faster, smoother ride.

This may be a silly question but is it really just as simple as replacing the frame for another? Or is there a lot more to it that I am unaware of?
