Drupal enthusiasts and website owners, it's time to level up your web experience as Drupal 10 takes centre stage! A comprehensive step-by-step guide by Symetris unveils the roadmap to transition from your current version to Drupal 10 smoothly. This upgrade promises many new features and improvements to elevate your website's performance and functionality.

The guide provides a structured approach, with tailored instructions for migrating from Drupal 9, Drupal 7, and other versions. As of December 2022, Drupal 7 and Drupal 9 are slated to reach their end of life in November 2023, making it imperative for users to plan their transition. Drupal 10 introduces enhanced text editing tools, user-friendly interfaces, automatic updates, and a project browser feature, catering to a diverse range of users from content editors to developers.

However, before diving into the upgrade process, it's crucial to ensure your website meets specific requirements. Drupal 10 mandates PHP version 8.1 or higher, with a recommendation for 8.1.6 or later to avoid potential bugs. Symfony 6.2 compatibility is essential, while databases such as MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, or SQLite must meet minimum version requirements. Notably, Drupal 10 ceased support for Internet Explorer and older versions of Universal Control Browser. Composer version 2.3.6 or higher is recommended for compatibility with PHP 8.2 and forthcoming Automatic Updates.

With Drupal 10's enhanced user experience and extended functionality, this step-by-step guide equips users to embrace the future of web development and ensure a seamless transition to the latest version. Learn more here.
