Approaches to convert the built-in root site collection into a communication hub site
john john I know this thread is a bit old, but it appears now there is a cmdlet to allow you to perform a Site Swap with a Communication Site against your Root Site Collection. You will need to perform a Invoke-SPOSiteSwap to do this.

sorry to wake up a dusty thread, but this is relevant to me now.
Do you know if theres an updated way to update a root site to the modern site now? easier than the cmdlet?
I think you might be looking for a guide like this https://sharepoint.handsontek.net/2019/02/05/convert-classic-root-sites-to-modern-sharepoint/ thought I think some PowerShell is still required according to this.
thanks for the link.
My end goal is to utilize Teams and create an org wide Teams channel that points to the root site (and all the files in it).
I am trying to run all of my company stuff at contoso.sharepoint.com, rather than contoso.sharepoint.com/site/whateverhub/etc/blah since we are a rather flat organization and small.
My original intention was to make the root site a modern site, so then I can create a Team from that modern site. I am hoping this little button shows up on my root site once I modernize it.
Does that seem possible to you?
