Migrate SharePoint Site from 2013 to 2016
Question
Currently I'm trying to migrate SharePoint site from 2013 to 2016.
I have search on google but not found any article. If any one know how to do this please suggest steps/articles.
Is that possible to migrate from SharePoint 2013 site to SharePoint 2016?
Solution
Two approaches for migration from 2013 to 2016.
- Use 3rd party tools and migrate the data to 2016 farm. You have to build 2016 farm in advance.
- Manual way.(database upgrade)
- build a SharePoint 2016 farm
- prepare the 2013 environment for migration( test the content db, clean the unwanted sites, doc etc)
- move the database from 2013 stars server to 2016 square server
- mount the database to sharepoint 2016
- test it
- You can use SharePoint PowerShell script to migrate as well the content if you don't have much customization
OTHER TIPS
There are several technet articles here if this helps: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc263026%28v=office.16%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
You need to create a new 2016 farm then move your content over.
