Cant set modern page as home page !

Hello guys, i need your help !

I have migrated an old MOSS 2007 sharepoint to sharepoint online office 365 with sharegate tool last year.

I have discovered that when I create a new site or sub site, no problem i have the new modern page.
The problem is on the existing site and the subsite, when i modify the root page for example its still an old web page. if i create a new page, it creates an old page too
How can I convert thses old page to new ?

    Hervé Dohercomprehensive guidance on how to transform from classic to modern can be found in the articles under below URL:

    For pages the following article provides a detailed description of the possibilities:

    Especially the PnP modernization framework might be interesting for you to have a look at:

      My actual home page is in this librairy : "page"
      What I have when i set a modern page as default home page for root site  ( stored in page site librairy )


      The specified homepage is incorrect. (This site uses managed browsing, so should the homepage be a publication page belonging to the same site.

        Hi,
        Review in the site collection features you have the SitePages feature enabled so you can create modern pages in your site
