Hello
So you are going to change UPNs , Primary SMTPs etc? right ?If you think of it, the whole process looks like a scary one , but really it is quite straightforward . First things first , AD Sync is your friend and the very tool that is going to keep things in line . Create your new Tenant , and verify the Mail Domains. You will go Hybrid so people will continue to work, and maybe in the end you may Decommission Exchange 2013 right ?

Yes, you are correct. We are going to change UPNs , Primary SMTPs etc and we will decommission Exchange 2013.
Would you recommend something about the process that might help?
Thank you.

Sorry for the late answer , i was quite engaged. So have you started yet ? One this i would like to point out is to carefully plan your Identities , just make clear which one is which and what aliases are on them
What about your PST files ? Are they holding a lots of GB ? In a similar case we uploaded all Data and made the Import Jobs from 365 Admin.

We have not begun.
PST's should be relatively small.
Thanks fro your insight. Much appreciated.
