Approaches to convert the built-in root site collection into a communication hub site
when we start a new office 365 project, we will have a classic team site created for us at the root https://ourcomapnyname.sharepoint.com/. but now we want to follow the flat structure of sites and ...
They are working on allowing us to make the root site collection a modern comm site. But currently there isn’t a supported way to do this.
Most people are using a comm site as their main site as a hub instead. There are some work arounds that people have used to accomplish removing the root site and creating a new one but it’s not ideal.

so if we can not convert our built-in classic team site collection (root site collection), to be a modern communication site, then our main communication site collection hub site will have url such as https://ourcompany.sharepoint.com/sites/mainHUb instead of being on the root?
- Yeah. It’s either wait. Do that or risk doing the “work around” that isn’t recommended. Some others that have done it might chime in if they have had issues but there was a lot of steps involved to doing it.
