Replacing a never-used classic root site with always & currently-used modern site
Hello ITpadawan
the site swap will replace your existing site with your new, all will be replacing, also the permission, that means, when you have permissions on your modern site, the site will be replace 1:1 the existing site. The root site it's not hierarchically, the M365 world are flat.
After the site swap, you can enjoy your modern experience as root site.

DaveMehr365 Thank you for a clear and direct answer. I appreciate the sigh of relief your response elicited.
I feel far more confident about scheduling the change.
