Upgrade DL's by DL owners
Can someone confirm this feature will not be visible when the DL's were created on-prem?
New Feature: Distribution list owners can upgrade the DLs they own to Office 365 Groups

You can only upgrade cloud-managed, simple, non-nested distribution lists. The table below lists distribution lists that CANNOT be upgraded.
