With Drupal 10 now available, we still have (as of December 4, 2022) 441,095 sites running on Drupal 7.x. According to the usage statistics from Drupal, this figure is 51.77% of the total 852,058 sites running on Drupal.

Due to this reason the Drupal 7.x end-of-life was extended to November 1, 2023. With the Drupal Rector and Automatic Updates initiative, it is now easy to migrate from Drupal 9 to 10, However, it requires one to be on Drupal 9.x first. Upgrading from Drupal 7 to 9 or 10 involves a host of changes for content editors, administrators, and end users.

This session will act as a step-by-step guide to migrating from Drupal 7 to 9 in an efficient manner. And this would not only be a version upgrade. It will be an entire CMS Experience Upgrade for all stakeholders.
