Upgrade 'Team site (classic)' to modern experience
Unfortunately, you cannot change the template of an existing site to another ne, this is something not supported in SharePoint Online. What you can do is just modernize the site:

- https://global-sharepoint.com/powershell/in-2-steps-convert-a-classic-sharepoint-page-to-modern-using-pnp/
Thank you for your replies jcgonzalezmartin // RobElliott
RobElliott- if I make a new homepage, I still get the global navigation menu vertically on the left.
Perhaps I've missed something. I'd expect the navigation menu to be site-wide - on the left for classic sites or along the top for modern. All the doc. libraries for this site are modern, despite having the 'Default experience for the site' set in the library's Advanced settings.
DogAndPonyShow in Site Settings make sure you've turned off Enable Quick Launch.

Microsoft Power Automate Community Super UserRight! Thanks for that. That's hidden the nav menu on the left.
Presumably the only way to get the global nav. menu at the top would be to either modernise the site, or recreate it as a Communications site & copy/move all the content to the new one?
