How to migrate SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint Online?

SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint Online Migration Steps:

Step 1: Export the data from the SharePoint 2010 environment using Export-SPWeb.

Go to the start menu, and run the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell as Administrator

Now, run the following command:

Export-SPWeb -Identity “http://<On-PremSPSite>” -ItemUrl “/OnPremDocLib” -Path “C:\SPOnPremExport” -NoFileCompression -IncludeVersions 4

Note: Replace the Web URL and the Document Library with your own URL and Library name.

After completing it successfully, you will see that a folder has been created

Create a new XML file in the above exported folder with the name: LookupListMap.xml and add the following lines to the file:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>

< LookupLists xmlns=”urn:deployment-lookuplistmap-schema”/>

Step 2: Convert the Exported package to the SPO Migration Package using the SharePoint Online Management Shell.

Copy contents of the export folder to a new path: “C:\migrationpackages\SPOTemp”.

Then, run SharePoint Online Management Shell as Administrator.

Within the ISE, write the following command: Connect-SPOService

After executing this command successfully, enter the Tenant Admin username and Password.

Now, run the following command:

ConvertTo-SPOMigrationTargetedPackage -SourceFilesPath “C:\SPOnPremExports” -SourcePackagePath “C:\SPOnPremExports” -TargetDocumentLibraryPath “Shared Documents” -TargetWebUrl https://<YourTenant>.sharepoint.com -OutputPackagePath c:\migrationpackages\SPOutPutPackage

Step 3: Upload the SPO Migration Package to your Azure Storage account.

Write the following command:

$azurelocations = Set-SPOMigrationPackageAzureSource -SourceFilesPath “C:\MigrationPackages\SPOTEMP” -SourcePackagePath “C:\MigrationPackages\SPOutPutPackage” -FileContainerName migration-files -PackageContainerName migration-package -AccountName “yourstoragestorage” -AccountKey “AZURE STORAGE KEY”

From the Azure portal, obtain your Azure Storage Key and Storage Name.

Enter your Office 365 environment credentials.

Step 4: Submit the Migration Job.

Submit the job by entering the following command:

Submit-SPOMigrationJob -TargetWebUrl https://yourtenant.sharepoint.com/ -MigrationPackageAzureLocations $azurelocations

Then refresh your document library within office 365, and you will see that content has been migrated.

Finally, successful migration is done from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint Online.

I hope this method will be helpful!
