Why Should You Migrate From Drupal 7? Find Out 
2

• Did you know? Over 50 of all Drupal-powered
  sites are still running on Drupal 7. Albeit, D7
  was released on January 5, 2011, yet, it is still
  powering a majority of all Drupal sites. The
  reason for this, Drupal 7 is slated to reach
  end-of-life soon and will receive community
  support until November 28, 2022. 
•  
• Earlier, it was decided that Drupal 7 would stop
  receiving extended community support from
  November 2021 but in light of the COVID-19
  crisis, relief has been given to Drupal 7 users.
  After being in service for over a decade, Drupal
  7 will no longer be supported by the Drupal
  Association starting from November 29, 2022.
  Besides the loss of D7 official support, there
  will be less focus on the contributed modules of
  the Drupal 7 version.

Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 Migration

• Drupal 8 was introduced in the market in 2015
  and it came with a slew of significant changes.
  The best part of D7 to D8 migration is that the
  things you used to do through contributed modules
  in D7 are now packed in the D8 core version.
  However, the way of implementation might not be
  similar in Drupal 8 and some refactoring could
  also be required to access feature parity.
  Furthermore, the Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 migration
  process could be a tough row to hoe, and moving
  the content is another daunting task. Therefore,
  it is recommended to seek help from a
  professional Drupal development company.

Drupal 8 to Drupal 9 Migration

• Unlike Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 migration, wherein, a
  massive re-platforming effort is required, D8 to
  D9 migration is the simple incremental upgrade.
  Those who have already embraced the Drupal 8
  version could be benefitted. In other words, D9
  is built on D8 using optional updated
  dependencies and deprecations and migration from
  Drupal 8 is simply a minor iteration change from
  the final D8 version.

Wrapping Up

• If you use the Drupal content management system
  but are on the previous versions, its time to
  switch to the new version with the help of a
  Drupal website development company. Drupal is a
  popular content management system that has
  established a strong position in the market by
  evolving incessantly and recently it celebrated
  its 20th birthday. This open-source CMS is
  trusted by the worlds leading brands including
  Tesla Motors, Timex, McDonald's Australia, Nokia,
  and more.
