If you are (heaven forbid) running anything before Drupal 6, you'll need to upgrade to Drupal 6 (or 7) first, then do a migration to Drupal 8 (though, you might be better off just rebuilding such a site from scratch in Drupal 8). All of the same concepts apply to Drupal 6, but the location of control panels will vary with those versions. Since, hopefully, no one is still running on anything earlier than 7 (no Drupal before 7 receives any official support any more), the notes below are assuming you are on Drupal 7. Note: You can migrate to Drupal 8 from Drupal 7 or 6. Hopefully, most legacy code will get updated before Drupal 9 comes out, and if site administrators have upgraded all other components on their sites first, the upgrade to Drupal 9 should be seamless – in theory, at least. During this time, users can run add-on components that work against old or new APIs, thus allowing them to test out new features while also running a few legacy modules whose maintainers haven't had a chance to upgrade them yet. Drupal 8 introduces a concept of incremental development and deployment, such that new features will be added to each point release of Drupal 8, but nothing old will be removed until Drupal 9. This is because Drupal 9 is not expected to be a painful upgrade like previous major version upgrades. The way the new development process works, you are best off upgrading to Drupal 8 as soon as it is feasible for your site. Direct upgrade paths should be available from Drupal 8 to 9 and between other future major versions, but for now, we all have to get over the hump into Drupal 8.Īccording to Dries Buytaert, the key developer behind Drupal, users should not work on the premise of waiting for Drupal 9 before upgrading. Because Drupal 8 has changed so much, there is no direct in-place upgrade path to go from any earlier version of Drupal to Drupal 8.

It is to earlier versions of Drupal what Mac OS X was to all earlier versions of Mac OS.

As Drupal 8 reached its end of life on November 2nd, 2021, you should upgrade directly to Drupal 9 at this point if you are still running an older version of Drupal. FYI: The following was written for Drupal 8, but fully applies to migrating from Drupal 7 to Drupal 9.
